Hello,

We are running a Windows 2000 Terminal Server. I have it locked down so the
users can only run a few apps, one of them being Internet Explorer 6. I
can't figure out how to remove the help menu from the toolbar though. I have
tried to disable access to help.exe and helpctr.exe but that isnt working.
Is there another program I can deny access to that will prevent access to
the help menu items? Or is there a setting that will remove the help menu
all together?

Thanks,
JBailey
 
Do you have IE6 SP1?
323395 Internet Explorer NoHelpMenu and NoViewSource Policies Do Not Work

However, in the Group Policy editor I didn't find a policy setting that
would remove the Help menu either. Apparently that is included in the IEAK
ADM files, but not the SYSTEM.ADM file included with Windows. You may need
a custom ADM file to address this through GPO.

Registry location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
- NoHelpMenu (DWORD): Disables the Internet Explorer "Help" menu.

I tested this registry value and it did disable the Help menu, but did not
remove it from the menu bar.
