Let me start by saying that I have no idea why anybody would want to do this, and it's perhaps one of the most useless articles I've ever written. That said, if you've ever wondered how to remove the username from the Start menu in Windows XP, this article is for you.
I suppose this could also be used in reverse, if your start menu does not have the username you could check this registry setting. I'm quite sure that somebody somewhere will find a use for this topic.
Note that this only applies to the XP style menu, not the classic menus… since they don't have the username anyway.
Manual Registry Hack
Open up regedit.exe through the start menu run box, and then browse down to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
eate a new DWORD value on the right-hand pane with the following values:
Name: NoUserNameInStartMenu
Value: 1
To remove, either set the value to 0 or just delete the key. You will have to log off and back on to see the start menu without the username
Enjoy.....
Nice Work
