How to disable the "F1" Help Menu in Internet Explorer

There are three ways to do this, in order of preference.

1.  Group policy.  The setting is found in User Settings\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer and is named "Turn off displaying the Internet Explorer help menu".

2. The Registry. "reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions /t REG_DWORD /v  NoHelpMenu /d 1".  You can also add it to HKCU.

3. The Filesystem.  Set "deny" permissions for everybody on the executable in question. Use this command: CACLS "%WINDIR%\WINHLP32.exe" /E /P EVERYONE:N


I suggest you do this sooner rather than later.
