Cannot remove the flash drive in the list recently opened in the control panel

I tried to erase all files recently opened in the control panel taskbar icon. But I'm unable to remove flash player from the list. Can someone help me how to remove it from the list.

Screenshot attached

Normally if you want to clear this history of jump list, you can do the following:
1. right click on the Start button and click on "Properties".
2. under the "Start Menu" tab, uncheck "Store and display recently opened items in the start menu and the taskbar" to turn it off.

If you are still unable to get rid of the recently-opened items, try to delete the history of list of jump, which is stored in the following location:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations

That should certainly erase the jumplists, but if the problem persists, check the below link for further troubleshooting:

  • How to remove the Yahoo? I followed the steps to remove the Control Panel, but the site is still there and in my toolbar.

    For weeks I tried to get rid of Yahoo from my computer.  I deleted it - or so I thought - by using the option remove in the Control Panel, but Yahoo icon is still on my toolbar, and when I click on it and now I get redirected to the Yahoo site!  What should I do to get rid of this unwanted program?

    Hello

    Which toolbar do you speak? Internet Explore toolbar or some other?

    If it is internet explorer, the problem goes away if you run internet explore without modules, probably accessible from Start - (all the) Programs - Accessories - System Tools.

    OK 21:00 tonight my keyboard fell from my bed and seems he has done something because it is now showing a panel at the bottom of all the folders on my computer, send me details about the drives, folders and so on, for example if I click on an image file it will tell me the name of the file , size, dimensions but also let me specify an taken date if no date is there, as well as let give me it tags, an author, a title, and the choice of 0 to 5 stars. I don't know what it is called or how to remove it, but for me it wasn't there until I use the classic windows shell btw, so it may be something in this but I have no idea.

  • Cannot remove the modem driver

    I can't delete the driver for my modem 105 BT travel as it says I need administrative permissions. It's screwing up my Outlook Express XP.

    I want to remove the driver because I recently went wi fi. I get messages in Outlook Express it can't find the box and think it's because it is confused with the two modem & wi fi drivers.

    The existence in your computer the driver for an old DSL modem is probably NOT the cause of your problem of OE.

    On the other hand, part of BT to uninstall instructions (see link below) appeal to you run two BT applications on the CD supplied with your modem (remid and Doctor105).  I don't know what they're doing, but at least the latter seems to make some changes in the Windows registry.  The name of the former ("remid") suggests that some 'identification' is 'removed', so I guess it is possible you may have problems connecting to the Internet using another device without removing this 'id'.

    You can use a web browser (IE, Firefox, etc) to surf the Internet?  If so, your computer is 'find' belong to the net via your wifi connection, and it doesn't seem likely that any vestige of the old installation of modem would affect OE but not your web browser.

    You can either post the full error or messages of OE here or (for a better chance of a solution) in theNetworking, Mail, and getting online forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/xpnetwork/threads

    I tried to uninstall via the control panel and all programs for the 105 modem entry. I have permissions on this computer and have just checked. When I try this I get the following

    Error loading newdev.dll

    then I press cancel and down administration administrative privileges are required to install, uninstall, or configure the DSL software.

    You have disconnected the Voyager 105 modem?  If so, perhaps it is the cause of your difficulty.  BT uninstall directions are here; Note step 3 ("Please do not disconnect the blue modem USB cable until you are prompted"): http://www.voyager.bt.com/selfhelp/shc/usbuninstall/105_uninstall_win.htm

    Of course, that boards do not unplug the modem until you are prompted are contradicted by advice of BT here:http://www.voyager.bt.com/selfhelp/shc_usb.htm

    So, if you already tried to uninstall with the connected modem and received the newdev.dll error, disconnect the modem and try again.

    The usual method of dealing with uninstall problems is to reinstall the software, and then try uninstalling again.  From what I've seen, this has probably won't work for you.

    I saw several messages regarding this issue, much, but not all, associated with the BT Voyager 105.  Most of the positions is unanswered; Some suggest you uninstall IE 8; but the following post seems the most promising:

    http://www.hmmm.IP3.co.UK/BT-Voyager-105-Newdev-dll-error.shtml

    I think that the issue is really something in BT installation instead of file of Microsoft newdev.dll files (note the contradictory comments at the end of the web page above).  Normally, I would not recommend downloading a dll file, but I scanned the ago today (you should also, if you decide to download) and it seems to be malware free.  Just make sure that you copy the newdev.dll file that is currently in C:\Windows\system32 (which should be version 5.1.2600.5512 or perhaps later) to a safe place (for example, your desktop computer) and replace it when you are finished.

    If using the old newdev.dll file works for you, follow the additional steps of the BT uninstall directions above.

  • "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

    missing volume control

    volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:

    "Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »

    I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?

    When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:

    Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.

    It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.

    This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file.  You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...

    We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache

    Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).

    If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).

    If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:

    c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

    Browsing from a level in the following folder:

    c:\Windows\System32

    Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.

    Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.

    Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.

    Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.

  • Windows 7, cannot remove the burn files after back to the top

    I have a 64 bit Windows 7 laptop. A year ago I started a return upwards to put on a disc. The backup failed at the time because I ran out of records to put on (had no idea that it would take as much!).

    Since then I tried to delete these temporary burn files from the F drive, but every time I click on the option, it breaks down and wrote files are used by another program. I went through and individually deleted most of them, but I still have a few huge to get the judgment and cannot remove the program (86), or on the desktop to the top, mean that they are used by another program.

    I burned a CD of all these left during the backup of files and that worked, but the files are still sitting in my drive F, I still can't delete the temporary versions... its taking a lot of space and I got the bsod a couple of times.

    I also tried folder in the start menu and delete the temporary files in this way, but it did not result in the F drive.

    I tried to rename the temporary files so that I could remove them too, but not to chance it.

    I have disc clean up all the time, this doesn't always help with the F drive.

    Your opinion would be appreciated!

    Someone has put a policy on your machine to enforce some rules for passwords. Best is to ask that person to change these rules for you. Alternatively, you can run gpedit.msc, then follow this path to edit yourself: Local computer policy / Computer Configuration / Windows settings / security settings / account policy / password policy.

    Note also that:
    -You cannot delete the built-in Administrator account.
    -Administrator with a blank password accounts is a big security risk.
