If you remove it from the default profile then new user profiles should not find it
in their profile. It is located in documents and settings\default user\start
menu\programs\accessories. For users that already have it, you would have to delete
the same profile from their folder which could be done with a logon script using
%username% variable in the logon script as in [ del c:"\documents and
settings\%username%\start menu\programs\accessories" ]. Group Policy/user
configuration/administrative templates/start menu & taskbar has many options to
configure start menu but I don't believe accessories is one on them. --- Steve
