Hello Natri,

What options do you have when you right click on this Computer shortcut in the pin area?

When right click on that:

And when Shift+right click:

The Libraries even worst

Natri,

Strange. I will have to do some research on this to see if I can find the registry location on this to manually remove them. I will get back with you if and when I find them.l

Ok Natri,

I think I found something that may help you out with this. It will basically reset the Pin To area of the Start Menu back to default.

If you cannot remove the shortcuts from the hidden folder C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Taskbar Pinned\StartMenu and after restarting the computer, then this below may help instead.

Hope this helps,

Thank you very much, Shawn! Editing Regedit works fine...I also create a reg file if someone needs it

Thanks for this Shawn,
and to Natri, for the reg file,

I had this problem on my previous 6956 install and did some quite extensive searching for an answer - this is the first solution to this problem, as far as I know, to emerge on the web.

another first for the SevenForums

You're welcome guys.

Thank you for the reg file Natri.

Guess what the next new tutorial is going to be.
