Start menu quick cleanup

Posted by zlatipln on June 25, 2008

My start menu is full with programs I do not use. It spreads over all the screen and goes out.

It is possible to delete unused programs with right mouse button –> delete but there is a faster way:

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Start Menu\Programs

Here you can find the programs installed and delete those you don’t want to appear in start menu.

How to Remove Help and Support from Start Menu

Posted by zlatipln on June 17, 2008

I don’t like ‘Help and Support’ option in my Start menu as I often click it by mistake.

It is easy to remove it:

Right mouse button on Start button –> Properties.

The window “Taskbar and Start Menu Properties” appears. Choose “Start Menu” tab.

Click “Customize…” button.

Then “Advanced” tab.

In the list find “Help and Support” checkbox and uncheck it.

Click OK button and Voila! No help anymore!
