Thanx

It's hardcoded into explorer.exe
It would require hex editting.

Is there any way I can remove it ? You see I disabled the IE5 tool options, but under the help options those can be changed and acceced still. How can i do it ?

You can remove it from IE:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft

Right-click on the Microsoft key, choose new>Key, name it Internet Explorer, right-click on the Internet Explorer key, choose new>Key, name it Restrictions. Then you'll need to right-click on the Restrictions key and type in the following DWORD values. Right-click on each one you create, choose modify and type in the number 0. Now export the entire Restrictions key. Now you have an easy way to undo the restrictions when you need to do maintenance on the machine. No go back, right-click on each and type in the number 1 to enforce the restriction.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Inte rnet Explorer\Restrictions

Add a DWORD value named NoHelpMenu and give it a value of 1.
