Remove Documents Folder from Start Menu
By: Arie SlobHere's how to remove the Documents folder from the Start menu:
- Start the Registry Editor
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
- Right-click an open area in the right pane and select New > DWORD Value
- Name it NoRecentDocsMenu
- Double-click this entry and add the value 1
- Exit RegEdit and restart Windows
To reverse just change the value back to 0.
Note: These settings can also be changed with TweakUI (you can find it on your CD-ROM in the \tools\reskit\powertoy folder).
You can also use my Tweaking Toolbox for Windows, one of it's functions is to remove the Documents folder from the Start menu.
