Hi
I'm looking for help on removing the "programs" item on
the classic start menu.
Its for a customized locked down desktop that provides
access to applications from its own starting point on the
start menu. No access to normal XP programs is required.
I've set the GPO to remove common programs from the start
menu, and also tried to delete the programs folder from
the users profile and default user profile ... but the
entry still persists in the start menu
Any ideas?
TIA,
Gav
