get rid of the "Pin this program to taskbar" context menu item
hi there, is there any way to customize the right click context menu of
the taskbar and hide the "Pin this program to taskbar" menu item? see my screenshot: http://6g6.eu/sih0-screenshot85.png (italian UI) I hate that feature and I think it's useless... but sometimes I accidentally click on it and this annoys me since I have then to unpin it. so do you know if there some tweak or software I can use to remove it or hide it from the context menu? thanks, Tommy -- Using Opera's revolutionary email client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |

Anything you rarely accidentally pin to the taskbar can be easily unpinned, so you must be accidentally hitting Pin to Taskbar a lot for it to be such a nuisance. Perhaps you right-click but hold down the mouse button and then drag the mouse pointer to the context menu entry and then release the button. Change your habit to right-click and release and then left-click on a context menu entry. Another problem is that perhaps you are resting your finger too heavily on the mouse button so it clicks when you don't intend to click. A stiffer mouse, or a longer mouse (so your fingers aren't so curled), or raising your finger would solve that problem source. You can also right-click to show the context menu but move the mouse outside the dialog box to bring the pointer back into the box where is the selection you intend to make. Removing an accidentally pinned item in the taskbar is easy. Accidentally doing it so often enough as to warrant a need to modify the context menu exhibits a mousing problem by the user or an overly sensitive mouse button. If you are repeatedly accidentally hitting the Pin to Taskbar context menu item then you are doing the same repeated accidental clicks on other context menu items. Need to change the hardware or its settings or modify your behavior to reduce the count of accidents. Note that I assumed you are using a mouse pointing device. If you are using a touchpad, you might want to plug in a mouse to your computer and use that as your pointing device (and optionally hit the button to disable the touchpad). Or, if you want to continue using the touchpad, reduce its sensitivity setting. Some touchpads are set to be overly sensitive so just the nearness of the palm can trigger a mouse event. |

I don't want to change my touchpad habits... as said before I never use that option so there's no way I will click it on purpose but only be error when working fast... so I'd prefer to remove it at all |

So did you actually try the article's workaround to see if it also removes the Pin to Taskbar context menu entry when right-clicking on a taskbar button for a currently running windowed application? Or did you assume that Windows Explorer was different and separate of the taskbar which is an object owned by the desktop manager? It is not clear in your response that you actually tried the workaround. Both Windows Explorer and the desktop manager are explorer.exe. That is, explorer.exe is both the Windows Explorer and the desktop manager. I would think modifying the context menu for Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) would also modify the context menu for the desktop manager (explorer.exe) for its taskbar object. If you never want an app (running or not) pinned to the Taskbar then disable taskbar pinning altogether. Some users don't like the mixing of buttons for currently running windowed apps with the shortcuts (which could be for a running or non-running apps). See: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...e-disable.html If you don't want to change registry entries by double-clicking on a ..reg file, you could edit the .reg file and see what it proposes for changes and do them yourself or just to understand what changes will effect the disable/enable of taskbar pinning. |

I tried the registry tweak proposed in that article and it only worked in folders right click menus not in the right click menu of the taskbar then I noticed that this one is also called jump list and I've found an app 7+ Taskbar tweaker that finally allowed me to remove it and replace with the good old WinXp-like context menu |
