How to remove "Help" menu / About Windows window?
I am dealing with building a RDP environment, and I am pretty much satisfied with everything, but as I need to allow people to access Printers folder, there I have a problem.
Users can learn about the TS machine by clicking "Help" -> "About Windows" + there is no reason to have that "Is this copy of Windows legal?"
How to remove these nasties, and preferably, entire help menu?

I've awarded points, tho I would appreciate if you could explain to me in short what Client Side Extensions actually are.
I've searched and read MS documentation, but I don't understand the concept of this and how it would work.
Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
What was being discussed above are group policy preference extenstions. Take a look at this short whitepaper on GPP from GP MVP Darren Mar-Elia

In a nutshell, you need to have the client side extensions installed wherever you want the GPPrefs to take effect.
They're an extension to the classic group policy stuff (I believe Microsoft bought a company to aquire the technlogy), so it's a bolt-on to the standard Windows functionality, at least on XP/2003.

The company they bought was desktop standard, exactly right that is where all this GPP stuff came from.

The fact is that I need to secure this as much is possible, as this is for an accounting office that provide access to accounting app for external RDP users.
You've mentioned connecting to printers through GPOs? Would you be kind enough to direct me to a resource on this? - The specific problem is that users work from their homes/offices and have a wide variety of printers, tho I have (will) standardize one default PDF printer for them all.
