XP Customization

[m3rcury]

Anyone know if I can get rid of the "Help and Support" on the Start Menu in XP final Pro?

I have XP running on another non-essential system and what I did was search through the registry for "Help and Support" and deleted them. Well there were quite a few maybe, 20-25 and when I rebooted, there was no more help and support on my menu...

Now, don't ask me which one is the magic trick or whatever else might be all bunged up on the system now but it can be done with a registry entry someplace...

Can't you just right-click on the Start button, select Properties from the context menu, click on the Start Menu tab, click on the Customize... button, click on the Advanced tab, and uncheck the Help and Support item in the Start menu items window? Don't have final yet, but figure RC2's interface is probably pretty much the same.

I got rid of it the same way that Jaywallen did.... no need to butcher the registry to get the job done.
