I've never done it.. Could I ask what you are trying to achieve, maybe there is a better way to do it?

You might try Access-based Enumeration:

It is possible,nothing is impossible with the web technology we have these days. Google, Google and Google and you will get the answer. To hide My Documents folder from the Start menu, I would usually: Right-click the Start menu> Properties>Customize>Advanced tab. In the Start menu items list, under My Documents, click Don't display this item, and then click OK twice. The next time you start, My Document's folder will be no longer displayed on the Start menu. Too simplistic? Then I would go via Group Policies. Enabling and disabling My Documents folder can be achieved through Group Policies. It is a lengthy process and for me it required an understanding and appreciation of what Group Policies do and how they are configured.An appreciation of Group Policy basics can take an inquiring reader like you or me a long way. A look at an interesting article: Group Policies--Beginner's Guide made me feel comfortable with the concept of Group polices. Want take a look ?
