If your computer is a member of a corporate network I suggest
that you discuss this issue with your Systems Administrator. If
this is your home computer, a Windows XP Professional stand-alone
computer that you administer, then:
Run the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), locate the following
policy and set it to "Not Configured":
Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative
Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar:
Remove Documents menu from Start Menu
NOTE: If the policy is already set to "Not Configured" try
toggling the setting. That is, click to select Disabled, then
click the Apply button. Then click to select "Not Configured"
and then click the Apply button.
Keep in mind that for a Windows XP Professional stand-alone
computer, only one local Group Policy object exists. As such,
every policy set using the Group Policy console will effect every
user of the computer, including the built-in Administrator.
For more information about Group Policies and a Windows XP
Professional stand-alone computer search the Windows XP
Professional Help and Support Center for "Client operating
systems" (with the quotes) and read the "Note" in the Full-text
Search Match by that title.
And if you have any more question about Group Policy you will
find the experts in the following newsgroup:
