Hide New Menu button

Dear List,

I need to remove the 'New' menu button which sometimes appears at the bottom
left of the screen. Any ideas on how to achieve this? I have tried to by
deleting the following key from the registry -

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extension\NewMenu

But this only removes all items from the list and leaves the New button
remaining. Any ideas on how to get rid of the New button?

Thanks for any help,

David

I believe it's part of the shell and you shouldn't remove it. There's
probably a way to do it, but I don't know what it is. Something else to
consider is that the newer WM5 devices don't have a NEW menu on them so any
code you write now to remove it will not work properly if you deploy your
program to a WM5 device.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I think I will leave the New Menu in place (hopefully
the client will be ok with that too..). I did manage to find a program which
deletes the entire task bar but I think its safer to just edit the existing
New Menu.

Cheers,
David
