Eliminate the Favorites folder(and others) from the Start menu
Eliminate the Favorites folder(and others) from the Start menu:
Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.
Right-click in the right pane. When the menu opens, choose
New, DWORD Value. Name the new value NoFavoritesMenu.
When the Edit DWORD Value dialog box opens, enter 1(one) and
restart the computer. After you restart, you'll have no Favorites
folder in the Start menu. If you decide you want the Favorites
folder back, change the value back to 0(zero) and click
OK, or just delete it. Close RegEdit and restart the
computer to get the Favorites folder back into
the Start menu.
For the Documents folder, follow the same
procedure, except name the new
DWORD value: NoRecentDocsMenu
Others:
find = NoFind
log off username = NoLogOff
run = NoRun
shutdown = NoClose
The following are for the Settings item on the
Start button. If you remove them all, you'll have no Settings item:
active desktop = NoSetActiveDesktop
control panel = NoSetFolders
folder options = NoFolderOptions
printers = NoSetPrinters
taskbar and start menu = NoSetTaskbar
windows update = NoWindowsUpdate
These are some others for Internet Explorer 5.01.
They may work for earlier versions. If you've
read this far, you've got a boot disk with CD
access and a full backup, so dive right in! The
NoFavoritesMenu is shown as removed from
the start menu. You will probably only have
one or two of these in your registry unless
you got a branded version from Snap or
somewhere. They add some or all
of these to give themselves control
over what you see.
