    I was wondering, is there anyway to change a programs menu bar? For instance, all of them have "Help" up there and I would like to remove it.

    I know it sounds trivial but it's an annoyance nonetheless.

    I searched through the registry and even put the executable into notepad to see if there was anything there but there wasn't.

    Anyone know how to go about making this change?

    Thanks!

    Oh.

    It's illegal?

    Man, I know the judge over in my county is probably going to jail me for removing "help" on the menu bar.

    Guess I can't use it man. This really sucks.

    Oh well. Thanks anyway. ;)

    Do you want to remove "help and support" from the menu bar when you press start? If you do, right-click the taskbar and select properties, select the start menu tab and click customize. scroll down until you see help, deselect it and press ok and apply. it will disappear from the start menu.

    I hope this is what you wanted.

    You're hot and bothered about the word "Help"?

    Yup. And I get off to Baked Beans.

    Not sure why you're interested in what gets me sexually excited, but ah, whatever floats your boat.
