We have a Windows 2000 Pro network which is locked down with a group policy on a Windows 2000 Server. I work in a secondary school so it needs to be locked down pretty tight. We now have to put an XP machine on the network which is working fine apart from the printers folder. Does anyone know how to remove the printers folder from the start menu as once in there kids can get to any mapped drive on the network.
 
I couldn't find a policy for it but the reg key is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Start_ShowPrinters

HtH,

Rob
