This can be achieved with the following Group Policies Enabled.

 

User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Start Menu and Taskbar | Do not allow pinning programs to the taskbar

 

User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Start Menu and Taskbar | Do not allow pinning Store app to the taskbar

Thank you for the policies

I am struggling to get rid of the run as administrator and uninstall links now for the students

[mproffitt1983]

Try the following:

 

Remove Run as Administrator

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

 

Value Name: HideRunAsVerb

Type: REG_DWORD

Value Data: 1

 

 

 

Remove uninstall

User Configuration | Administrative Template | Start Menu and Taskbar - Prevent users from uninstalling applications from Start - Enabled

Thank you for your help mproffitt1983. The uninstall link did the trick

however it seems the registry key for remove run as administrator didnt seem to work?

[mproffitt1983]

Hi Gaz003

 

Did you add the reg key as a GPP?

 

User Configuration | Preferences | Windows Settings | Registry

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

 

Value Name: HideRunAsVerb

Type: REG_DWORD

Value Data: 1

Action: Update

I checked over the settings I had it set to create, changed it to update and worked straight away. Thank you :-)

Did this remove the run as administrator and uninstall?

 

I am planning to test out the

 

"Enable disable right-click context menu "

 

worked for windows 7.. group policy somewhere

[mproffitt1983]

Yes they work for us.

 

We have "Disable context menus in the Start Menu" Enabled but it didn't do anything.

student policy - to remove the uninstall

User Configuration | Administrative Template | Start Menu and Taskbar - Prevent users from uninstalling applications from Start – Enabled

 

To remove run as administrator we added a registry item in group policy

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer

 

Value Name: HideRunAsVerb

Type: REG_DWORD

Value Data: 1
