    Libraries Icon STUCK on start menu


    No matter what I do I can not get this thing removed, I have looked through a good bit of the tuts on this forum with no luck with any of them. When I right click I get an option to "remove from this list" but when I click it the icon remains as if I didnt click anything... anyone have any clues?

    Hello Jay,

    Is this a pinned or recent item in the Start Menu?

    It's pinned, I have it set to not show recent documents.

    Ok. You might see if resetting the Start Menu Pin To area may be able to help then. :)

    Ok. Check in the hidden system folder location below to see if it is still in there. If so, delete it. If it will not delete, then try dragging and dropping it in the Recycle Bin.

    Code:
    C:\Users\(User-Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\StartMenu

    It is actually not listed in there for some strange reason... Everything else I have on there is though.

    Umm. If you have not already, restart the computer to see if it may just be a ghost since it's not located above.

    I have restarted a bunch since I have noticed this. It's very strange.

    This is a stubborn one.

    Well, you can create a new administrator account to use instead, and delete the old one from within the new one after copying your user folder files into the new account. Another option is a repair install.
