Remove Access IBM from Start Menu?

#1 Post by DeeDee » Sat Apr 02, 2005 10:34 am

Does anyone know how to remove the ugly, flat, square 'Access IBM' icon from the Start Menu under Windows XP?

The normal operations (delete, move) aren't enabled for this icon.

Thanks,

This worked for me;

Open Registry Editor and navigate to this location:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\StartPanel\ShowOEMLink]

In the right-pane, change the value for NoOEMLinkInstalled to 0. Close Registry Editor and restart Windows. The Manufacturer Link entry should now appear in the 'Start Menu Items' dialog. Uncheck it. This hides the OEM Link from Start Menu.

The usual precautions apply when modifying the registry!
