How to diasable ( Hide ) the Start Menu ?

I am not sure how to disable the start menu completely but usually when a
user right clicks on the start button they are able to select Open, Explore
or Find. Use this tweak to remove these options and secure your desktop.
Open your registry and find the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] then
rename it from 'shell' to 'shell.old'.

Do the same with the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell] and rename it to
[...\shell.old].

Once complete the two original keys should now be called
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.old] and
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell.old] respectively.

Now when you right click on the start button, you should no longer be given
the option to Open, Explore or Find.

This only enables the Autohide function. Same as the check box in
Taskbar, Properties, General, Autohide.

Hi,

Try running gpedit and see if you can find the right place among all
those options. I seem to recall that's in there somewhere, but it's been
a while since fooling around with gpedit configurations.
