I want to change the default location that is displayed when you right-click on the start button and choose "Explore" (not Explore All Users) By default this opens an explorer window to the users start menu folder under their local profile. For security reasons, I would like this to open to their default home directory. (network mapped drive) Is this possible?

It would be much easier and secure to remove the right click option. I think its the below option, but check first as we use so many it is sometimes hard to tell.

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
