I know how to remove the Documents from start menu but the reason I'm asking this is because when I try and add the DWORD in the Explorer folder in the RegEdit console, an error comes up like this after trying to rename "New Value #1".

Error Renaming Value:
The Registry Editor cannot rename New Value #1. Error while renaming value.

And when I try and delete it, it states:

Error Deleting Values:
Unable to delete all specified values.

But then when I go back the folder, the "New Value #1" is gone. What can I do?

First, you can clarify what in the world you are doing in the registry that has to deal with removing the My Documents link from the start menu??? Sorry, but your question doesn't make any sense.
