QuickLaunch

[George Sorrells]

I am trying to stop the Quick Launch Tool Bar from
launching for all possible users of a particular machine.

I work in a school and when one student lab, has problems
with the Quick Launch Tool Bar. I figure the best thing
to do is disable it. I can disable it for one user, but
when a new person logs in and has a profile created on the
local machine the toolbar comes back.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks:

George- If these are Win 95/98/NT/Me/2000, should also work for XP, systems
then try adding a registry key.... This registry hack will also remove
active desktop, Web view and thumbnail views, so if you need these, it
might not be right for you.

Just remember that editing the registry can be dangerous, make a backup
first.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Expl
orer
Add a new key with the:
Value Name=ClassicShell
DataType: REG_WORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: 1 (1 turns on classic desktop, 0 *zero* returns to the default
desktop)

Then do the same for

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explo
rer
Add a new key with the:
Value Name=ClassicShell
DataType: REG_WORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: 1 (1 turns on classic desktop, 0 *zero* returns to the default
desktop)

Good luck.

Best regards,

If the previous suggestion doesn't work, try:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"ClassicShell"=dword:00000000
