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

thanks for the link but this is effective only in right click context
menus you open when you right click on an exe file in a folder

the "pin to taskbar" item I've show in my screenshot is the one you see
right-clicking on a taskbar minimized item.


If you are repeatedly clicking on Pin to Taskbar in the context menu in
Windows Explorer then you have a behaviorial problem in your mousing
skills. 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....


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....

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
