Hi,

Is there a way to hide the Admin Tools menu bar from Programs in NT4 Workstation?
I know you can add NoCommonGroups string to the Registry, but this takes away most of the programs I'd want the user to use (Office, email,etc)

Is there a simple workaround?

Cheers,
Simon

Try right clicking the start button and choose explore all users. Click Programs. Find the Administrative Tools folder. Right click and choose cut. Now find the Adminstrator Profile. Then choose start menu/Programs. Right click in the Programs folder and choose paste. Now the Administrative Tools folder should only be visible if you are logged into the adminstrator account.

Thanks folks, have gone with Angie's suggestion which worked fine. May have a look into setting up a batch file to automate this process for other PCs. Really appreciate your advice, thanks Simon
