Remove Documents icon from Start Menu

[Guest]

I use the Classic start menu and want to remove Documents (not My Documents)
icon and listing from it. It's among the lower listing of Programs, Search,
Settings, Run etc. I've used TweakUI to remove the two subheadings of
Documents ( My Documents and My Pictures) but that's all I can do. Just want
to hide or move the Documents icon and name. Thanks.

Bobch,

START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (no quotes) & press ENTER

Navigate to:

Current User:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r

All Users:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor
er

Key Name: 'NoRecentDocsMenu' (no quotes)
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 1 = remove from Start Menu, 0 = display recent docs

NOTE: The EXPLORER key under POLICIES may not be there as by default it
doesn't exist. What you need to do is right-click the POLICIES key | New Key
& name it Explorer. Highlight that & then in the right pane add the new
DWORD NoRecentDocsMenu, double-clikc it & set it to 1
