Registry tweak

Does anyone know how to get rid of some of the start menu links that MS puts in a newly installed XP by default?

For instance... I don't want the Microsoft Update, Set Program Access and Defaults, Windows Catalog, Outlook Express, Remote Assistance and Windows Movie Maker links to show up in the start menu all programs for new windows installs... It just gives me 6 links to delete on all the computers I roll out... I tried looking at registry tweak site but couldn't find anything... I can't use Nlite (if it can do this, not sure) because it is for a corporate CD... So do I have any "simple" options?

Thanks

you can use a script to simply "del %AllUsersProfile%\Start-Meny\Programs\Outlook Express.lnk" ?

cleanup.cmd

REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v NoSMConfigurePrograms /t REG_DWORD /d /1
DEL /F /Q "%USERPROFILE%\..\Default User\Start Menu\Programs\Remote Assistance.lnk"
DEL /F /Q "%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Remote Assistance.lnk"
DEL /F /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk"
DEL /F /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk"
DEL /F /Q "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Outlook Express.lnk"
DEL /F /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Movie Maker.lnk"
