Click here to begin 'Start' button
I like to use Windows Explore by right clicking the Start button in the
bottom left of my screen. It has become cluttered with progam launch shortcuts. How do I edit/remove these shortcuts? Thanks |

If you mean highlight by placing you mouse over it.....it dosen't seem to
work. It will activate the shortcut if I right or left click it.

Emvis typed: If you left click the start button the main menu appears...if you right click it shows a menu with OPEN EXPLORE SEARCH.etc....there are now other shortcuts there from various software installations.......I cannot figure out how to remove them It requires a registry edit. If you're comfortable editing the registry go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell and remove them there. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

The shell folder is at default with one additional folder in it called find.
Within find are folders called command and ddeexec. Within the Directory folder there are a number of files in shellex that may have a link to the right click menu.....I'm not sure where to go from here "Ken Blake" wrote: In , Emvis typed: If you left click the start button the main menu appears...if you right click it shows a menu with OPEN EXPLORE SEARCH.etc....there are now other shortcuts there from various software installations.......I cannot figure out how to remove them It requires a registry edit.
