| | User files and Programmes Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question. if not, please advise and I will re-post. Can anybody tell me how to hide/prevent specific programmes from displaying on a users start menu? We are using Vista Ultimate and the PC has 4 user login accounts. I need to prevent specific users, from accessing specific programmes and yet do not want the 'parental controls prevent......' message appearing. especially as all the users are 50+ in years and probably dont have living parents! This was easy under XP as you simply moved folders from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs to the specific users start menu folder. Any help, gratefully received. Bob |

| | Re: User files and Programmes Bob You follow the same procedure that you used in XP. The only thing that has changed is the location/names of the folders. The All Users Start Menu folder is located at: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu The individual users Start Menu folder is located at: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Bob" <bob.cudmore@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:2DFFDD9A-1FB7-4158-9CDD-3853B8E2DDF4@xxxxxx Quote: > Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question. if not, please > advise and I will re-post. > > Can anybody tell me how to hide/prevent specific programmes from > displaying on a users start menu? > > We are using Vista Ultimate and the PC has 4 user login accounts.
