Description:
When you go to my documents folder, press the right mouse button and choose properties or when you select my documents properties in windows explorer, the my documents properties dialog box will appear. Likewise, selecting alt + enter key combination with my documents selected, also calls the same dialog box. If this setting is enabled, you can prevent the user having access to the my documents properties dialog box. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. If the subkey explorer is not present, create it as explained below. Then, create a dword value nopropertiesmydocuments, if this value does not exists. Now, right-click and modify the value to 1 which can hide the properties dialog box. However, if you want to show the dialog box back, change the value to 0 or delete the value. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff. Note: the restrictions will apply on all user accounts created on your system.
