Prevent Outlook Express Shortcut in Start Menu???
Does anyone know how to prevent the Outlook Express shortcut from showing up in the Start Menu on a Windows XP Professional workstation? Whenever a new user logs onto a Windows XP workstation either utilizing the Default Profile or a Mandatory Profile on our server, the Outlook Express shortcut in the Start Menu appears. It's very frustrating since we cannot determine where it's coming from. There is a desktop.ini file in the Start Menu which looks like it may be calling the shortcut, but if we edit or remove the file, the shortcut still appears. Of course, we also edited the All Users profile, but no luck. If someone can shed some light on this, that would be great. Thanks! Steve |

Prevent Outlook Express Shortcut in Start Menu???
Hi Steve,
If you rightclick the START button then select "Properties" then select the "Start Menu" tab at the top of the properties pane, then click the "Customise" button you are given the choice to uncheck the "Show on Start Menu" boxes which should do what you are trying to achieve.
