Question about 'Turn Off the Documents Menu'

I have a question about Turn Off the Documents Menu:

This works for administrator accounts, but the registry and tweak UI methods don't work as a non-administrator user. Any tips? Should I temporarily raise a user to admin to make the change, and then go back?

i think because the turn off docs option has to be a admin global setting because the documents folder on the start bar is part of the shell what version of tweakui are you using and have you tried winguides tweak manager?

Personally, I would create a group policy to remove 'documents' from the start menu and/or tell it not to keep a history of documents on the start menu. This approach uses Windows 2000 tools, rather than third-party tweaking tools. B.J.
