hide document function from Start button - using Regedit
|
|
|
| Running security on desktop for public use.
I use regedit to add in keys in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mi
crosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer]
"NoRecentDocsMenu"=dword:00000001
saved and run it but it doesn't work
Do any one know how can I Hide the "Documents" from the Start button ( not showing it when Clicking on Start)
I also found from Microsoft site the knowledge base it only specify hide the document command when I use "NoRecentDocsMenu" not like the "NoSetFolders" which can hide the "settings"

| Your problem is the Hkey you are using to create the NoRecentDocsMenu. Instead of using HKEY_Current_User, use HKEY_USERS\"user profile" \Software\Microsoft\Windows\Cu
rrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
. When you create the key in HKEY_USERS it is automatically added to HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Hope this helps. | |

| Personally I wouldn't use regedit I would remove from the profiles, i.e the individuals and then the default users if further users should not have this facility. I would have thought that Group Policies would have been able to do. Not at Win2k system to double check | |

| Hello,
I am studying for MCSE as well so correct me if I am wrong. This maybe what you are looking for:
In the group or local policy under the Administrative Templates / Start Menu / "Do not keep history of recently opened documents". Hope this helps.

| I used a little Programm called "Tweak I ",not to be mistaken by Windows TweakUI,the Programm is made by Jermar.(www.jermar.com)I used it for many of my Windows 98 Users.
It works for Windows 2000 as well.You can totally customize everything,for example disable rightclick,remove run from the Startup,remove Devicemanager,and so on...
Hope this helps. |
