    Locking Down PC for Disabled User-Hiding the File Explore in Start Men


    Ok,
    Understand that. The OS is Windows 10 Pro, so it does have Group Policy Editor. I am working through that, and have the major Windows system tools restricted, such as Run, Regedit, Control Panel, Task Bar changes, Command Prompt, All Apps button, etc. But he is inquisitive.............


    That is why I keep going back to one of my original questions. I do not need to restrict access to File Explorer if he does not SEE an option to go to File Explorer. If only I could find a way to remove/hide the File Explorer button from the Start Menu???

    Thanks!

    Even if you would achieve that, what good would it be? Almost any program has a built in interface to file explorer. No file explorer icon? Just use Word to browse the folders, or Excel, or Winzip, Windows Media Player, or... I think you get it. Sorry but the only solution is to set folder and file permissions accordingly.
