    N79; can't run " home media " menu

    sawatdee krap,

    maybe because you havent set any connections for "home media". i think it needs to connect with your computer. you also need to install SimpleCenter's Home Media Server software on your PC

    maybe this will help you -

    Thanks for reply, Send To removes using reg file, but returns after PC reboot, Pin to start isn't removed.....

    Maybe shellmenuview & shellexview? Do you know locations of those entries in win10 registry? I would try delete them by hand....

    You can edit the .reg files in the tutorials to see all the locations for them to help. *Smile

    Reg key - "[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{a2a9545d-a0c2-42b4-9708-a0b2badd77c8}]" is deleted, but "Pin To Start" still apears in context menu. Maybe there is another key in win10?

    Search for {a2a9545d-a0c2-42b4-9708-a0b2badd77c8} in Registry Editor using the Find and Find Next feature to see if there may be able more under a ContextMenuHandlers key.

    This will not affect the Start menu context menu though.

    Only the ones found in a ContextMenuHandlers key.

    I would highly recommend to create a restore point first. This way if it messes something up, you could do a quick system restore using the restore point to undo it.
