    Customize your XP Classic start menu

    Run > gpedit.msc > Admin Templates

    You can remove anything you wish from the default start menu....without the aid of X-setup or tweak programs.

    Enjoy!

    Also, feel free to post all the tips an tricks you've discovered by playing with any windows based OS. :tilted

    Sorry dude...in my hurry I forgot to mention...

    It only works in 2k/XP Pro.....

    My bad...gomen. Try X-setup if you wanna mess with certain basic stuff. http://www.xteq.com/

    Worked for me

    took me a minute to figure out the Start Menu settings are under the Admin Templates in User Configuration, not Computer Configuration.

    thanks ccsdude, i will keep that advice in mind. call me a weirdo, but i like using windows xp's default start menu. i find it easier to access FUP (frequently used programs) quicker. i also use the default blue theme instead of classic theme. maybe microsoft has gotten to deep into my head into using there 'user' experience of windows.

    anyway, keep those windows tips comin ccsdude.
    A great man once said, it's better to go forward, cause if you go backwards you may trip, or cause someone to fall.

    No I will not fix your computer.

    you know you should really give linux a try. you know the funny thing about the l2cache on the old pentium 2 really didnt give me the power to do the multimedia stuff that a guy like me wants to do.
