[OPLINTECH] windows 7 pro question

[Chad Neeper]

Ditto Bob's comments. Full isolation from the staff computers as much as 
possible. If you need to have the patron computers log into a local 
server, it's probably best to isolate that server from your staff 
computers too and assume/treat it as a compromised server. Ideally, 
you'd probably want to isolate the patron server from BOTH the patron 
computers AND the staff computers. Isolating the patron server from the 
patron computers helps to protect it from the pesky patrons. Isolating 
it from the staff computers protects the staff computers from the 
compromised patron server.

To more directly answer your question, however, you can remove the 
"Network" link from the Start menu by:
1) Right-click Start button and select "Properties"
2) Click the "Start Menu" tab
3) Click the "Customize" button
4) Uncheck "Network" (and any other desired options) about midway down.
