  1. Open Registry Editor
  2. Find HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Policies > Explorer
  3. Create a new DWORD, name it NoManageMyComputerVerb
  4. Assign Value "1"
  5. Log Off and Log On

Its here buddy: :)

User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer

Hide the manage item on the windows explorer context menu
