Question : Hide/remove "administrative tools" from Start up menu

How can I hide/remove "administrative tools" from Start up menu on a Windows 2008 R2 Terminal Server for the users

I want to hide/remove "administrative tools" from the users but not the administrator.

Also I can't disable powershell for the users on terminal sessions trough GPO

The DC is a Windows Server 2003 and the Terminal Server is a Windows 2008 R2.

Answer : Hide/remove "administrative tools" from Start up menu

You can add as part of the login script to update the registry

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
Value Name: StartMenuAdminTools
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: Yes or No

This registry entry could also be set via GPO and only applied to users who are not in the "ServerAdmins" group for example.
