Start menu irritation
Can't seem to delete some items from the start menu, Ebay was first I noticed this. No right click Delete option! Anyway to do it? Also notice can't right click and drag and drop from menu to create a shortcut. Why take that out? Means now I have to look in Properties then Open File Location to locate app to create it directly instead ... argh! |

I found making links to the /Users/Alan/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and the other one in /ProgramData/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder were the most simple way around editing the menu. I just made shortcuts to them on my desktop and called one MINE and the other ADMIN menus. Worked for me. |

Even better, instead of a shortcut on the desktop you could have a toolbar on the right hand side of the taskbar. |

Gets round most of these Start button / menu issues. |
