Hi
Thank you for your answer.
This does not not however help me out. Maybe I explained it wrong. I am the admin account on the system, my son (a 14yr old) is to be the standard user account. I have allready had numerous trips to and from the PC shop to get it put right after he has clicked and changed settings that affect the computer working, and yes he does not know the admin password, also I have restricted him with the parant settings, as to times and content, BUT and this is where it gets to be the reason for asking the question.
In my > All programs > are the programs that I use, these are the ones I need to remove from his > All programs list view.
So if I have in my > All Programs > Autocad
He must not have it displayed in his > All Programs (Blank)
I have allready found out how to remove certain programs like "runas'" and "Cmd" which is great, but removing from his menu the programs like CCC and Thosihba Recovery menu eludes me.
This is one solve I got that did 1/2 of the requirements.
The Start/All Programs menu will show every program that is installed for your user account, Start\All Programs folder.
Your user account Start/All Programs folder is located at:
C:\Users\your username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
And at:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Removoing items from there does it only 1/2 way because when you remove from the:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
It removes them from the main accout as well, which is not what is required.
So the next step was this:
You might want to make a backup copy of these icons to an empty folder somewhere in your user account folder for safe keeping.
Remove the icons from the Standard User account Programs folder.
Next, 'move' the icons from the location for All Users to 'your' Programs folder and let them replace the same icons in that folder.
I have done this and the result is that although the Menu still shows the Directory entry id does not show any thing inside it, still a 1/2 way solve but better than none, I just hope he does not delete the directory fromhis view.
I know that many applications will place a shortcut or folder with shortcuts in both locations either by default or when you select the 'Install for all users' option in the programs installation options. Other programs will place their shortcuts in both folders by default without asking, so I will have to monitor this to keep an eye on it.
What is frustrating on top of all this that the gpedit is not installed in premium version, which would have made this much more strigforward that it all is.
