Mark,
HKCR\.lnk\ShellNew
HKCR\.lnk2\ShellNew
Rename both ShellNew keys to ShellNewNotUsed (or whatever). This
probably will not completely remove the menu item (depends on OS), but
it will disable their ability to create a shortcut. If it does not
remove the item from the menu list (probable), then if they select to
create a new shortcut, it will just create a new file that will be of
absolutely no use to them...

Subject: [THIN] Can I Disable the New - Shortcut menu option in explorer
Does anyone know of a way to disable the New SHortcut option from
explorer desktop or folders. We have a locked down system, OS drives
hidden etc. but someone twigged that they could create a shortcut to an
OS app - NET.EXE so they can send naughty messages to other users !
It's now rapidly approaching epidemic proportions as other students are
now learing this 'new' trick and, well the result is fairly obvious,
espeically when the data server is the target and all connected users
get the message !
Any help/pointers appreciated.
Mark
