I have tweakui but i can't figure out how to get it to remove the documents thing from the startmenu.

And i dont want to change any registry files because everytime i change something in there, a couple of weeks later, i download a windows update everything gets messed up.

Right Click Taskbar > Properties > Start Menu Tab and then click the Customise Button, from memory, there should a bunch of options of what to show and what not to. Although I'm using XP Pro, so the Home Edition may not have as many options.

That has some of the things you can do, but none of the commands will remove the my documents menu. Google Windows Configurator. This program is designed for other than windowsXP systems, but the tweaks still work.

open the start menu, then right click on the folder and click remove or delete, whatever it there, they all only shorcuts in the start menu anyways.

what I meant by that was that it will work for WinXP, but it was designed for previous versions. This program will work perfectly with WinXP, I have it installed on my WinXP Home SP1 computer.
