FarmCretin Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 after quite a few tries and more CD coasters than i care to count, i finally created the perfect automated install with drivers for my machines. well, almost perfect. after a few days and after i had reinstalled all my software and backups, i realized what "My Computer" menu in the start menu looked likenow that is just not right. i guess in the last stage of nlite i check a few too many boxes. my question is if there is some sort of registry edit to remove all of those shortcuts? i only want my drives in "My Computer" menu.Thanks for Your time,FarmCretin

FarmCretin Posted September 20, 2008 Author Posted September 20, 2008 thanks, that did the job i wanted, and minus the explosions! :] the only thing still there is the control panel link. as far as i can tell i already deleted it Registry Key[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}]

(the rest is the same). Also the option can be (un)checked in Folder Options.GL
