I've heard of that solution, although I've never tested it myself.

Alternatively, you could throw the following batch script into their Startup folder which is what I do. The only downside is that they need to re-log in order for it to take effect.

@cmdow @ /HID
set KEY=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu
reg delete "%KEY%" /f
reg delete "%KEY%2" /f
exit

You could also use "Customize Start Menu" and disable the "Enable dragging and dropping" option

Also is handy in that they cant rearrange, delete, move, etc anything in the "all programs" menu

Handy if you arent in a GP environment

Of course, if they can get to that option, they can always enable it again but its a handy trick you may find helpful.
