further limiting a limited account

I have one account for my small child with selected programs available
from the Desktop. I would like to disable the Start Menu in his
Limited account only. However I would still need some sort of Logoff
option to be available.

I checked out Kelly's Korner but didn't find whether some of those
available Registry tweaks apply to all profiles or only one.

I use WXP PRO with the Welcome Screen enabled so my child can choose
his profile from a picture.

You might want to take a look at Doug Knox Security Console to see if it
might suit your needs.

Although it has a host of features it doesn't seem to do what I want,
disable the Start -- All Programs menu.

Yeah I looked at it a bit and saw that, but I thought it might be something
that you could work with. How about looking at the Microsoft Shared
Computer Toolkit.
