Removes the Taskbar and Start Menu item from Settings on the Start menu. This setting also prevents the user from opening the Taskbar Properties dialog box.
If the user right-clicks the taskbar and then clicks Properties, a message appears explaining that a setting prevents the action.
Fix:
(1) GPO: User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar!Prevent changes to Taskbar and Start Menu Settings
(2) REG: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer!NoSetTaskbar
