Cannot remove a program from the start menu icon

Original title: icons in the Start Menu;. Cannot delete the program start menu icon to remove/uninstall, need help?

S pie Menu icons; Ghost of icons

I deleted a program and uninstalled completely, but the program icon always appears in the start menu.  I was not able to remove the icon. Right-clicking on the icon simply freezes the start menu for several minutes. I was able to remove from the desktop.

I tried the Program Data > Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > programs > but the icon.

I had this problem before, but I just do not remember how I fixed it. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Kevin, thanks for responding.

The program was the Vuze, and I managed to get rid of the icon.  By a right click and do not move the mouse and wait 5 minutes eventualy box popped up and I was able to remove the icon from the start menu.

The solution was a lot of patience.

Please help us well!

:)

p.s. I ran various software cleaning, like glary utilities, ccleaner and reboot several times.

    This utility, which has a knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what programs configured to run at system startup or login and that the entries in the order of processing windows. These programs include those in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other registry keys. You can configureAutoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell, toolbar extensions, helper objects to the browser, Winlogon notifications, auto and many start-up services even more.

  • How to remove an item from the start menu in Windows 7?

    I tried to install a game written for an earlier version of Windows.  It did not work, but when I uninstalled the program, he left an icon in my Start menu.  I can't find a way to delete the item in my Start menu.

    If I click on the link, I get a message that says that this is not a valid Win32 application.

    If I right click on the link, I get options:
    Play
    Run as administrator
    More games from Microsoft
    Support
    PIN to the taskbar
    PIN to Start Menu
    Sort by name

    I miss the opportunity, we usually need to change the Menu start manually!

    I did all that, although I had to 'Show hidden files' in two different places, but the guarded program reappear, even after that I deleted everything that I could find that had "Lemmings" in there.  I had installed the program on the D drive and I could delete it, but the next time I saw the Start Menu, it would put a file on drive D named Lemmings Revolution.exe (with no data in this document, 0 bytes).

    I tried the support link from Microsoft and the thought that should work, but alas, I didn't have the product code to enter the FixIt program when asked.

    I finally took a huge risk Open regedit and then sought to any occurrence of the word "Lemmings".  I deleted everything in the registry that referenced "Lemmings", then returned to the D drive (in the command prompt) and deleted the above programme, after that I restarted my computer.

    So far, it seems to have solved the problem...

    (I knew after you remove some of the registry keys, one of the contained key code product I could entered the FixIt program, but by then I had already made changes.)

    Thanks to everyone who tried to help me!

  • How can I remove a program from the context menu?

    Some time ago I uninstalled ClamXav.

    When I right click on something to bring up the context menu, I have the option to Scan with ClamXav.

    I searched for this in the spotlight (and assistance to locate in the terminal - do not know if this uses the same Spotlight search criteria).

    Anyway, there are no references.

    Anyone know how I can get rid of this in the menu?

    Of course, it doesn't have an impact, it's just quite annoying to see the option there.

    Thank you.

    I was recently given a hand computer (compaq I tthink) so I'm not clear about all the fancy stuff to the extent of the ect CPU... but I know it has windows xp pro. in any case, a friend used my computer and for some reason any felt the need to download a program called 7-zip. Now, my computer is screwed... In the start menu > all programs, everything has disappeared! And I can access the system restore in normal boot and safe mode, but the window remains empty, we never really gave me the opportunity to use it.

    2 have you made any changes to the computer before the show?

    3. did you run any online scanners to remove infections?

    4. What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Method 1: Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    Step 2: Put the computer in a State of boot is a way to know which application is causing this problem.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    4. When you are prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.
