Windows XP and Shared Documents

The Shared Documents folder is annoying, I just finished a fresh install on my upgraded machine and I want to get rid of it. I'm so use to supporting users on a 2000 domain, I rarely see the Shared Documents and for the life of me I can't figure out how to disable it.
 
edit your registry

go to:

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

-create a new DWORD value
-name it NoSharedDocuments
-give it a value of 1
 
Thank you very much, very helpful. 🙂 Leave it to Microsoft to require a registry hack to turn off a feature used by home users.
 
Happy to help.

Two more that I use are these:

StartMenuLogoff and NoRecentDocsHistory

Do them the exact same place, exact same way if interested.
