We are a secondery school and need to remove search from windows 7 start menu. pupils can type c$ into it and access the shorcuts for all the programs on the c drive including mstsc and powershell. I have already enabled the GPO setting Remove Search Link form Start menu and confirmed it is being applied and changed the Registry key NoFind as it should but the search box is still there. If you try this in the windows explorer search box it only finds their own items. The pupils desktop is locked down so they can only get the required shortcuts in their start menu but this bypasses it so its one we need to get sorted. Thanks for any help Edited to say Ive found a way round it by enabling User Configuration\Administrative Templates\start menu and Taskbar\ Remove See More Results / Search Everywhere link

Looking forward to the 2nd meeting the first was really useful and freebies are always good!! This is the only time we get to mix with other education Network Managers who understand the constraints we have in an education environment. Recommend it to anyone who can get to the venue.

I cant see a way of not installing Bridge - we use AAMEE to build the package (the only place bridge is shown is in the updates) and then deploy. I must be missing something!! At the moment I am blocking Bridge but if we could install without it I would prefer it.

I am probably missing something but need a fix for this. We are running Adobe CS5 Web Premium. Pupils can access the entire c drive through bridge by clicking on computer and typing c:\. Is there a way to block this or use Illustrator and Photoshop without Bridge? I'm just rebuilding the package without Bridge to test but thought Id post before everyone goes home!!

agree with above - great day thanks to rick and ben for organising

Great idea and looking forward to the meeting

I'm registered but its locked down to documents only... I'll wait for the LA to come back to me. Thanks for your help

True, I'm waiting for them to get back to me. I requested the update yesterday so fingers crossed!

thank you for the link off for a download!!

We dont have the ISO as the LA bods came in and did it with their scripted install disks, we dont get left anything - our SIMs support is covered by them so I have emailed them for an update and am waiting for a reply

Thanks - the SIMs server is an LA setup (the only thing that is ) so I will get onto them about getting up to date!

Hmmm wonder whats different, our clients are windows 7 64bit installed via MDT with all apps and then SIMs is installed manually (hence it being on my list to do silently!!). Using simsinst.exe invokes the install, install barcode fonts and then hangs trying to instal reader 9.2 ... if 9.3 is on it carries on as it should, if X or over is on nada

I was going to ask how you installed SIMs but have seen Vikpaws reply below... do you run the individual installers as a script?
