NoManageMyComputerVerb

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Description

Removes the Manage item from the Windows Explorer context menu. The context menu appears when you right-click Windows Explorer or My Computer.

This entry stores the setting of the Hides the Manage item on the Windows Explorer context menu Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry, and the system behaves as though the value is 0.

The Manage item opens Computer Management (Compmgmt.msc), a console tool that includes many of the primary Windows 2000 administrative tools, such as Event Viewer, Device Manager, and Disk Management. You must be an administrator to use many of the features of these tools.

This entry does not remove the Computer Management item from the Start menu (Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Computer Management), nor does it prevent users from using other methods to start Computer Management.

This entry does not remove the Computer Management item from the Administrative Tools menu, nor does it prevent users from using other methods to start Computer Management. (To view the Computer Management item, from the Start menu, point to Programs, and then point to Administrative Tools. )

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Hides the Manage item on the Windows Explorer context menu Group Policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer).

Tip

For detailed information about particular Group Policy settings, see the Windows 2000 Resource Kit Group Policy Reference.
