documents short cut the start menu

Is there a way to remove the DOCUMENTS short cut from the start menu - I know TweakUI(?) did it in XP.
TIA
Bill

Hello,
- Right-click the Start orb, and click properties - Click the customize button - In the list, under Documents, click Don't display this item - Click OK - Click OK
- JB

I neglected to mention I was using the CLASSIC MENU - however, as long as I have a drive full of new beta Windows and Office - I might as well go with the new start menu - I deleted a bunch of things off the new menu and will go from there - thanks again

If you want to continue using Classic, you can regedit it off.
Open your registry and find the key below. Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value called 'NoSMMyDocs' set the value to equal '1' to enable the restriction.
*Registry Settings to use*:
User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] Value Name: NoSMMyDocs Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = disable restriction, 1 = enable restriction)

Chad,
Thanks for your reply:
"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer]" I got this far - there were still many more folders - I stopped
"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer]" I got this far - there were still many more folders - I stopped
"NoSMMyDocs" Did a search and found a folder with this name - in it was one entry: Default - REG_SZ - Value not set This folder was found at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Start Menu\Start Menu\Start Panel\My Docs\Policy
I changed the value of Default - REG_SZ - Value not set to 1 - did nothing I added a new entry - Default - REG_DWORD - value = 1 changed the REG_SZ value back to no value set - did nothing
Decided I had fooled around with the registry all I was going to at this point.
While I can get to programs faster in the CLASSIS menu, I like the quicker shutdown/restart feature in the Vista menu. Thank you again for your efforts in the matter.
Bill
