Cannot remove (2) pinned shortcuts

There was an updated version of a program that I had pinned on the Start Menu. Now he has (2) added on behalf of the program. I click with the right button on the pinned shortcut, click prperties, then the general tab. When I try to rename the shortcut by removing the two (2), I get an error asking if I want to rename the ".lnk ProgramName (2)" to "ProgramName (3) .lnk?  There is already a file with the same name to this place.

I finally used the search and found ProgramName.lnk and ProgramName (2) in the Pinned\StartMenu of Explorer\Quicklaunch\User C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roming\Microsoft\Internet .lnk. (Internet Explorer?)

Now, the ProgramName link does not appear on the Start Menu.

Ahh ha! Looks like the ProgramName link pointing to the Program Files (x 86) directory. The proram.exe is no longer in this directory. The ProgramName (2) pointing to the Program Files directory and the exe is in this directory.

Of course, removing the point pinned in the directory link 32 bit there is no enabled me to rename the pinned link as you wish. Without using search, I never would have found the "missing link".

Then... I solved my problem, but the poster so that others can learn.

Hi Terradon,

Thank you for your valuable suggestions.
 
Glad to know that you were able to solve the problem. Do not hesitate to contact the Windows Forums for problems with Windows in the future.

    Hello

    Shut down the PC. Tap away at f8 that you start the PC to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  When windows has fully loaded in this mode, see if you can now delete the shortcuts.  To exit Safe Mode, restart the PC and Windows will start normally.

  • Cannot remove the ghost folder. Error message: there is no such mailbox

    When I configure Thunderbird to connect to my Alpine Webmail, I had to rearrange my folders. Cannot remove a folder titled "mail" because according to TB "there is no such mailbox" but still shows on the tab my folders. I read through the previous discussions and have tried to unsubscribe the ghost folder, but that did not work or the other. I have a Mac OSX if this affects what it is. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you.

    Hello world. I solved the problem... somehow. By removing the account of Treasury Board and put in place again, TB has been able to sync with the files that were on Alpine. The ghost folder still presented (despite not existing not not on the Alpine site), but by changing the directory to the IMAP server of "mail" to "mailbox" the ghost folder disappeared. I found myself with records who have been named oddly (most likely due to the change of the name of directory) so when I changed the IMAP server directory to "mail" it reset my files with the way they were, with the exception of the ghost folder, that was no longer there. I'm not entirely sure why it worked, but in case someone else has a similar problem, I recommend to give it a try.

    Thank you all for your comments and help.

  • Cannot remove iCloud backup of my old iphone

    I upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 6 s iPhone yesterday. Activation and downloading my settings and applications from the iCloud went perfectly. I am now trying to delete the backup of the iPhone 4 on the iCloud, so I can have enough space to save my iPhone 6 s. I get a message, "this backup cannot remove because it is in use". Any suggestions?

    Hi Poppabear5,

    Congratulations on your new iPhone 6 s! I understand that you have a problem with deleting your iPhone upward iCloud. Let's see if we can understand what is happening.

    The type of message you see, looks like your iPhone 6s is not made backup upward. The best way to confirm this is to see if it is possible to make a backup with your iPhone 6s and see if Yes see a message in the sense of "this iPhone is currently being restored and will back up automatically when it's done.". If this is the case, then you want to wait for the restore before you delete the backup. Another thing to think about is if you still have your iPhone 4, make sure it is not turned on and backup. It would be considered in service as well.

    Hello NickStoneburgh,

    What exactly you are trying to remove from Control Panel?  I am also having a difficulty finding a support contact for the media of Bando, but when you do a Bing search, I see others with the same question.

    When this software did get installed on your computer?  Have you installed any other software, and it has also been included?  If you can perform a system restore to a time before having this software.

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

    Method 3: Try the SFC (System File Checker) scan on the computer.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    a. click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .

    b. right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click run as administrator.

    c. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
