hey folks,
i got another problem!

The Solitair Link isn't working any more. i uninstalled the program, same goes for the steam one. now i wanted to remove them from my startmenu, but when i click on "remove from list" nothing happens, it's still there. somehow i also got that problem with more icons who are longer in my startmenulist. for example the "my music" link can't also be removed by clicking on "remove from list".

i guess that the icons for startmenu are saved somewhere, but i don't know where etc blabla...

in short: can you help me to remove them? plssss

many thanks
your flipsy

Hi flipsy !

With Xp-Professionel try:

Click "Start", choose "Run", type gpedit.msc, choose "benutzerkonfiguration" and "administartive Vorlagen", "Startmenü und Taskleiste" (here you can delete it)

Or use windows-explorer and browse to:

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu for individual users, or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu for all users collectively.

(There are folder/files from the start menu)

well first of all thanks for the tipps! but i'm using xp home, so the first one does not work.

and i already knew about that second one.. maybe there's a misunderstanding, sorry. i did not mean the startmenu itself but these "startmenu favorites"... therefor i need some help.

but thanks again!

Did you try this option?

yepp. still same problem...

this is really crazy...:redface:

Does the same problem persist in other user accounts too?I think your current user account is the real cause of the problem

might be possible... this is the only user acc i have on this computer...

ahhhh maybe i know why i got this.... a couple of months ago i changed something with my account with tune up 2008... ima check it out...

[EDIT]
hm... i haven't found anything in tune up to reverse this... i think i will have to reinstall windows etc dno..

the MRU icons should be in:
C:\Users32\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\System

*edit*
hang on, that's not correct.
I have a start menu\programs\system folder, and apparently the shortcut in the MRU list is the shortcut that's inside the start menu\programs\*
At least, that's how it appears when I go to right click -> properties -> general tab

Maybe it has something to do with your Vista-like skin

changed my visual style back to normal xp - problem still there
logged in with another user account - problem still there

we're running out of suggestions..

You`re from germany ? There are some guys with this problem - google find 100 more, seems to be a bug in XP ...

HAH, i finally got it!!!

thank you all for helping me!! you just made my day! <3 (K)

In registries?

yep. but if the german forum wouldn't have told me directly where it was i'd have never found it..

Good news, looks like Microsoft always keep us busy
