    Start Menu Item's Arrow ONLY Clickable


    When I open the start menu and mouseover an item that has a right facing arrow, it automatically opens up the Recent Items pane on the right side.

    I don't want it to open upon mouseover, but only on-click.

    Is this tweak possible?

    Hello Merlin,

    Unchecking the item boxed in red below in Customize Start Menu will do this for you. :)
