Start Menu Name Hide

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 don't 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

Start Menu Name Hide is a very small, simple and easy-to-use tool to set it for you if you don't like messing around in the registry.
