removing "find" from 98 start menu

[soniar5]

Hi guys:
I have been working on 28 Dell PC's using Poledit and Tweakui to set restrictions on them. I have accomplished everything except the "FIND" on the start menu. In Win95 machines I can remove "FIND" from the start menu and the "F3" shortcut key was accessible. In Win98 when I Poledit and remove "FIND" from the start menu it also removes the shortcut. Does anybody know of a way other than calling Microsoft to remove it from the start menu but keep the F3 shortcut.

Thanks

You might like to try Winboost98, available from the better software houses (Tucows, ZDNet...) It will allow removal from Start, but keep the F3.

I believe this is what you are looking for:
Find or create the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Create a value called NoFind. Set the data type to REG_DWORD. Set the data to 1.

Hope this helps.
