[2005] Disable startmenu.

[noahssite]

Hello, i already know how to disable the taskbar on the bottom of the screen. How do i disable the startmenu? Since though the taskbar is disabled if you click the Windows button on your keyboard the startmenu popsup.

Can anyone just supply code? I can learn from that and ask questions accordingly.

*Note this would be used for a security system... a customized login. Im just saying this since some people think it will be used for viruses and they do not help.

Didnt you basically already ask how to do this kind of thing here: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=532215

Also, you saying that this would be used for a security system doesnt prove that you dont want to do this for a virus etc. Whats to stop someone who wants to make a virus just saying the exact same thing? Its not that I dont believe you... I'm just saying that last post was pretty pointless

Anyway my answer to your question is the same as it was in your other thread (that you havent replied to yet). Use registry edits/group policies.

Well this is different then the post you linked too.
The post you linked to i asked about restriciting right clicks/folders/ etc..

This thread im asking about disabling start menu. This is not for a school thing this is for a login screen. I already disabled the taskbar now i need to get rid of the startmenu. Using an API function i would presume.

ok well for one thing, the logon screen in windows doesnt have a start menu so I dont know what logon screen your talking about. Secondly, disabling right clicks, folders, the taskbar, the start menu etc etc can all be done in the way that I mentioned in the other thread - group policies/registry edits. There might be some APIs that you can find that do a similar thing but why go to all that trouble when you can just make your program edit a registry key that does it for you? I admit there may be some cases where there's a good reason for not doing it through the registry but you havent given any such reason yet..
