  Does it really bother you?!
  Anyway…
  you can disable it trough registry (do not go there! unless you know what you are doing) or trough Policy Editor (this is what I would choose).
  In domain policy go to user configuration, administrative templates, start menu & taskbar.
  Here you can find “Remove Help menu from Start Menu”. It does what you want. Now you can particulate this to your OS (98/NT/2000).
  
  Email me at iulian_costache@yahoo.com if you need further assistance.
  Good luck!

    I need to block it out because users can use help to get around settings in their profiles. Thanks for the help.
