If you want to make your Start Menu be more private, try to hide your user name from it. Yup, that's not give a warranty that your computer be secure, but at least you'll give again 1 point to your computer security.

Be default, Windows XP will display current login user name in above of start menu. And to hide it, we'll play with Registry Editor again. Like usual, just click Start - Run menu, type regedit in textbox then hit Enter key. In Registry Editor, drive your cursor to registry path : HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Policies | Explorer. Find NoUserNameInStartMenu key but if you don't find it, just create it. To create it, right click on empty space on right panel of HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | CurrentVersion | Policies | Explorer key, then choose New - DWORD key menu. Replace original name with NoUserNameInStartMenu key. After NoUserNameInStartMenu created, double click it then change the value to 1.
Close your Registry Editor and restart your computer. Now, open your start menu to look the effect....
