Administrative Tools Tweak

Recommended Posts

Simple Tweak for showing the Administrative Tools only on the Places menu.

Here,s I quick tip for the XP start menu that I found while rummaging around in the registry.

 

Did you notice how under the Customize Start Menu->Advanced->System Administrative Tools you can set it for one of three ways:

Display On all Programs Menu (Don't Like it there)

Display On All Prorgams Menu And Start Menu (Better but now its in two Places)

Don't Display this Item

 

All three choices are unacceptable, I want the Administrative Tools On the start Menu only.

Here's how...

Under Customize Start Menu->Advanced->System Administrative Tools Now choose - Don't Display this Item.

 

Now use regedit and go here...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"Start_AdminToolsRoot"=dword:00000001

 

Change Start_AdminToolsRoot from 0 to 1, reboot the system and your set....now the Administrative Tools only displays on the Start Menu and not on the All Programs Menu.....
