How do I control the Right click on the Start menu.
I need to disable some link in the menu.
I have a "User" profile, Who’s profile have to be protected/safe, a right
click on the "Start" menu gives the user access to areas, I don't want for
this profile.

I say Thanks, if anyone can help.
Mitza

You can always simply disable the context menu in Windows Explorer. That
should deal with the UI part. However, in order to really prevent someone
from doing stuff that you don't want them to do, you need to carefully plan
and implement security settings.

Yes, thanks Daniel Petri.

But I have hoped for some possibility in the “regedit” settings.

I have disabled the KontrolPanel, editing of the desktop and some other
things that way, but the right click on the “Start button is the last thing I
need to disable.

But I think I also have to do it you way, because the “SaveAS” and
“Open”
menu gives the user some back-doors to the file system.

Sincerely,
Mitza

You didn't mention what OS you are working with. You must be careful of what
you do. In XP, you can take a look at gpedit.msc. This can be started
clicking on start and select run. Type gpedit.msc in there. I don't
remember if this was available in Windows 2000. In XP, a new window will
open up. Look in the User configration section as shown below.

Administrative Templates
start menu and taskbar.

Hope this helps.
