Group Policy is a good place to start. While I doubt you can completely
disable the start menu, you CAN control what items appear on the menu.
Failing that (and depending on budget) you may consider Fortres 101 by
Fortres Grand (www.fortres.com) to help lock down your PC. I'm using on
older version to do something similar.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWSNT\CURRENTVERSION\WINLOGON\SHELL
