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 to remove an item from the contextual menu orphan?

    I had a workflow that I added in context menu of Clusters.  I forgot to remove it from the context menu before you delete the workflow, so now it is visible as a choice, but naturally does not start.  Any suggestions on how to get off the context menu now?

    If you have a copy of the workflow on another instance of vRO, the easiest way would be to export from, import it on vRO instance that you use with the Web Client and remove the link of action in the context of the user interface.

    If you don't have a copy of the workflow, you can try the following:

    • SSH for vSphere Web Client device stop vsphere-customer service
    • Delete the /storage/vsphere-client/SerenityDB/serenity/ALL/applications/vco-plugin/context.menu.actions file (you can make a copy of it to the case where)
    • Start service vsphere client (or reboot the power of vSphere Web Client)

    After these steps, all custom context action mappings should have disappeared, including orphans.

    How can I delete the icon?

    Hello

    I checked the screenshot, and it seems that you are using the Windows XP Start menu and not the start menu classic.
    Please, right click the Green Start button and select Properties.
    Then, the taskbar window and the properties of the Start Menu should appear.
    Then switch on the start tab menu and press the Customize button.

    There, you can try to clean the list of programs
    Also, check the Advanced Options tab and the list of start menu items.

    I'm new to the movement and try to learn to use it.

    In the library is the favorite named folder. I spilled some items in there (moved from content folders, transmitters of particles or generating things) that I would like to delete now.

    I guess these things in the favorite folder are just aliases to the actual items, but I can't figure how to get rid of them.

  • How to remove unused items from the library?

    Dear all,


    Flash CS4 is really good for the design and development of point of view. But I noticed two things:

    1. If the library has more point so there is no option on right click "select unused items". How can I get this option "select unused items" on click right while the library has one more items with the scroll bar?
    2. Height of the window actions sometimes increased. Right now there is no option to decrease the height of the window actions except the Reset option.

    Please let me know if I'm wrong!
