Remove IE8 Shortcut From Start menu

When they had next appeared I'd have just set their Properties To "Hide".
IE8 or The System doesn't give a monkeys if you can see 'em or not. Just so long as they are there!!

Thanks for your suggestion, Lasy B.
Whereabouts are these properties set?

Right-click the shortcut, click on Properties at the bottom, on the General tab tick the H.idden box, click Apply, Click OK.
I do it all the time with others whose shortcuts I've moved and they keep recreating them where they want 'em to be.

That one, of course.

Code:

attrib +h "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Media Player.lnk"

still produces the access denied when running via script. Doing it the manual way as you described works fine.

i'm getting the same access denied lark...

If deleting thru windows explorer, works fine.
But using vb script, comes up with access denied...

ANy ideas?
