help with windows XP?

Is there a way to get rid of the "documents" tab under the start ?

I know there was a prog. for windows 98 & ME but I dont recall what it was called and I doubt it would work on XP anyway.

To remove, launch registry editor.
Scroll to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Right-click on the right pane and select New, DWORD Value. Name it NoRecentDocsMenu.
Double-click and enter 1 as value. To restore the Documents menu, reverse the steps by changing 1 to 0 or delete DWORD value.

This info came from ActiveWin.Com

Check out F1, I didn't know he was in to Registry as well.

Ripper, M$'s own TweakUI would do that and much more! It will be safer and easier to use TweakUI as you can always revert back but if you don't care about that then I guess you are all set!
