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.


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.

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
