| Remove the 'Help and Support' Link from the Start Menu SUMMARY: If you are an advanced Windows XP user, you may want to clean up your Start Menu by deleting a help shortcut.
The "Help and Support" link on the Windows XP Start menu provides online documentation to Windows and the basic applets such as Notepad, WordPad, etc. It also displays links to online help documents, including those provided by your system manufacturer.
If you are an experienced Windows XP user and do not need this option, you can remove it from the Start Menu.
1. Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, choosing "Properties".
2. When the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select the "Start Menu" tab.
3. Click the "Customize" button.
4. The "Customize Start Menu" multi-tabbed dialog box should appear. Select the "Advanced" tab.
5. Underneath "Start menu items", uncheck "Help and Support".
6. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.
