I’m absolutely loving my experience since installing Windows 7 Ultimate on the new laptop I just migrated over to from my 4-yr old laptop. I really should work on a series of posts that talk about my favorite features, but first I really want to figure out the answer to one little snag I’ve run into.
As you can see from the Snagit of my current Start Menu in Windows 7 Ultimate, I have a little issue with what appears to be multiple copies of the same shortcut in my list.
Somehow during the transition and migration of all of my files into my new system, Windows 7 Ultimate has remembered a previous setting of my Start Menu and WILL NOT forget it no matter how hard I try and what steps I take to try and refresh/remove the items.
I’ve edited the Windows 7 Ultimate registry multiple times using the regedit functions that store these values and nothing seems to work. My Start Menu can be completely empty, but as soon as I right-click on a shortcut and select “Pin to Start Menu” the shortcut name gets populated and written with the numeric identifier for there being multiple shortcuts to the same program that already exist.
If anyone can provide me some instructions that will completely wipe this memory and listing clean so that I can start again, that would be wonderful.
Until then, I’ll try and figure out another way to make this wonderful new elephant forget something and start fresh.
