This is a very small and simple utility to set the startmenu name for you Sometimes when you have a kiosk, or demo machine, you may want the windows session to be generic as possible. This includes the name that is sprawled across the top of the start menu.
Especially when you are making a video of a demo you dont want your name all over it. Unfortunately Microsoft did not make an easy way to shut this feature off.
If you want to remove the name from the start menu you can dive into the policy registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer
And add the following dword value: NoUserNameInStartMenu and set it to 1
After you make the change and reboot, your name will be gone from the start menu

* For security sake you may not wish your users to use the log off or shutdown or even change the system properties through the ControlPanel. If this is the case this program will allow you to remove these items.
* To make your start menu look neater. If you dont ever use the documents or favorites items on the start menu, then why have it there. Remove those items and many more with this program.

Every time you open a program from the start menu, the date and number of times you used it is stored in an encrypted database.
The Start Menu Click History Viewer reads the Explorer UserAssist Data from the registry and allows you to see exactly that information is stored in this location.
When first looking at the contents of this registry key one might think they have been infected by a trojan or something. But in fact, its EXPLORER.EXE, a Windows system program, that writes these keys.
Among the information stored you will find references to titles of web pages, .url files in favorites, local files and shortcuts.
There are entries for things accessed only when Windows was first installed (like drivers). This means that Windows logs this information and never deletes the log data.
In addition of being a very high security risk this also bloats the registry, which fragments it, slowing Windows down.
