Pin EXE files to Start menu, problem (Solved)
When I pin an EXE file to Start menu, in some instances the shortcut changes to a menu
eg, Palemoon.exe, Firefox.exe, Postbox.exe (programs) I have used "C:\Users\"Computer name"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu", to create shortcut in WinExplorer. But when "Start" is opened each shortcut has been converted to a menu with an attached jump list Dragging shortcuts from desktop onto "Start" -- same result. How do I pin only the EXE file without the attached jump list? ![]() |

It looks like you are using Classic Shell for the start menu there may be a setting in it to change that.
Have a look at Option 1 of this tutorial and set it to 0 should remove those jump lists. Jump Lists - Change Number of Recent Items to Display Jerry |

My Registry did not have "Start_JumpListItems" Created "Start_JumpListItems" Value:= 0, made no difference to tasks-lists Changed value to "9" Your Classic Shell reminder was the winner ![]() Thanks again |

Whenever you drag an item into the start menu that isn't an executable file or a shortcut to an executable, it will create an entry, but it doesn't give you the full range of menu options to unpin it when you right click it.
