grzesiek Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 (edited) In XP you can remove this in gpedit in the internet explorer menu settings. Edited November 13, 2007 by grzesiek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambassador Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 where can I find/get gpedit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grzesiek Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 If you have xp pro you can type gpedit.msc in run window. But home version doesn't include gpedit so in this case you should be able remove this menu by editing the registry. So for me would be much easier to help you if you first write what exactly Windows do you have or choose your OS in your profile settings. But anyway if you have home version of xp it is more complicated to do this, but you should be able to disable this menu by typing in run window regedit and going to this key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\RestrictionsIf the key Internet Explorer or Restrictions doesn't exist you should first create it. Then in the key Restrictions create new DWORD value named NoFavorites and set it to 1. If you later would like to bring back this menu set this value to 0. Note that in order to apply changes you must again log in to Windows. I hope this will help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambassador Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well I do have XP SP2, and gpedit works.However, I only want the favourites menu removed from Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer. How can I do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
