HOW TO DISABLE TASKBAR AND START MENU PROPERTIES

HOW TO DISABLE TASKBAR AND START MENU PROPERTIES 

Normally whenever you right click on the windows start Orb button or the taskbar, then there is an option is called properties that allow you to open something know as taskbar and start menu properties. this windows normally allow users to change the various properties associated with the start menu and the taskbar.

However, on many occasions it makes a lot of sense to stop user from accessing the start menu and taskbar properties using the following simple registry trick:

1. Open the regedit.exe file 
2. scroll down to or create the following registry key: 
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer
3. in the right pane, create a new DWORD value named NoSetTaskbar within the above registry key its data value  to 1 to disable the start menu and taskbar properties, and to 0 to enable it. (note: you may want to completely delete the DWORD value NoSetTaskbar when you want to enable the option.)
4. exit the windows registry and restart the windows session for the change to be applied.
