Windows 7 Local Group Policy: How to Remove Orphan\Broken IEM Folders

[B0bbyP]

Hi Everyone,


Does anyone know how to remove this orphaned Internet Explorer Maintenance Menu and its subs in Local Group Policy Editor, User Config, Windows Settings? (see screenshot attached)



I am fully aware of what this is and the fact that it's related to upgrading to IE 11.


I do not use IE or have any policies that I care about or know of and I have already tried to do a Browser Reset on it to no avail. I do have some old Dial-up and VPN RAS entries in Internet Settings but I do not use them anymore and they have been backed up anyway.


I have found some registry keys that I think may do the trick but I figured I would see if anyone has a definitive answer before I try a manual removal of them just to avoid any potential headaches.


I also get an MMC Snap-in error when I try to open one of the sub-menu options (see screenshot #2)


TIA,


BP
