What are you trying to do exactly?
trying to get rid of some of the items in the startmenu
they get back even after removing from the list and reboot

saw a registry tweak on
[Resolved] Get rid of Start Menu items after install? - Unattended Windows 7/Server 2008R2 - MSFN Forum
But I am unsure it that does the trick..
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Start_MinMFU"=dword:00000000 "Start_JumpListItems"=dword:00000000
No I am not talking about recently opened.
I know about the 'number of recent programs to display' thing.
However, once that is set to '0' -no- recent items at all are displayed anymore, neither the ones that may be handy.
So it is either having this Getting Started, Sticky Notes, Snipping Tool, Calculator crap, together with my own recent programs in the recent items, or nothing.
Have two windows 7 x64 sp1-machines here.
The old pc does not have this stuff in the start menu. The new one has.
Both have 10 items as recent programs. Also the 'customize how links, icons.. etc' behave (the box above it) is identical.
Maybe one day they will disappear as they are not 'recently used programs'...?

Ok, you still want to set that to 0.
Now, right click any shortcut you want in All Programs list and select "Pin to Start Menu", they will all be added to the top part. See my screenshot, labeled "Pinned".
