How to hide the start menu lock button?

Who knows? And the "save session" button as well. I know in XP and Window
2000 we can edit the registry key in POLICIES\Explorer, but it seems not
working for Vista. Thanks!

Re: How to hide the start menu lock button?

I am also looking for a way to remove lock from the right arrow button on the Vista start menu as well as remove the lock button from the Vista start menu. If at all possible, I would like to be able to disable the lock options from the registry.

Thank you

To disable the Start Menu Lock Button in Vista via regedit:

Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Create DWORD named DisableLockstation and then Modify and set the value to 1.
