How do you disable the Personalized Menus feature for a user that only has
the runtime engine of Access 2000? I assume it is a registry setting.

The PC has Windows 98 and there are no other MS applications on the PC.
 
I assume that you do not want the user to have access to
certain menu items, then you must go to the tools/startup
and take the check out of the areas you wish to limit
 
I am not sure which menu you are talking about but here are
a couple of ideas

1. Open the form for which you want to remove a menu bar,
and View menu, click Design View.
2. If the property sheet is not already visible, click
Properties on the View menu.
3. In the property sheet of the form , click the Other tab.
4. In the MenuBar property box, type =1.
5. On the View menu, click Form View.
To bypass hold down the shift key when starting app

Another source for you if you want to make your own menubar

Sorry, I wasnt too clear about what I wanted.
The problem is I have developed a database using Access 2000, on the
development PC i have disabled Personalized Menus (These are where you
click the menu and you see only the common menu items you use and to
view the whole menu you have to click the little double chevron at the
bottom to view the whole menu) I think these were introduced with
Windows 98.
To disable them in Access 2000, in the options tab of the menu
Customize window you untick "Menus show recently used commands first"

Now this is fine on the developement PC but I have transferred the DB
to a Windows 98 PC running just Access 2000 runtime (thats all it
needs). Low and behold the Personalized menus are back in my DB. Now
there is no way to disable them on this PC as I only have the Runtime
version of Access. Is there a registry settings somewhere to do it?

Thanks In Advance
