    Deleting Apps in start menu


    I deleted a browser a long time ago and, today, when looking for an app I noticed the browswer software was still in apps list in start menu. It would not delete, so did this route and got it. Dont know if this is of any value but thought I'd tell you.

    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    App in start menu

    I installed a new app, and it showed in start menu, but since when I deleted the shortcut on my desktop I can't make it show anymore in start menu: the app is in the alphabetical list if I open the start menu, the shortcut is in the start menu folders (both
    common and account), I rebuild the index, but if I open start menu and type the app's name it doesn't find it. I also tried to put again the shortcut on desktop, but nothing happened.

    Also, I deleted one app, there is no shortcut to it in start menu folders, but if I type its name it still find it (but can't open it, naturally).

    How can I fix these issues?

    This update deleted my whole taskbar and start menu config, now I have to add again all my 30 apps shortcuts to the start menu.

    When a shortcut isn't working anymore, you'll get a request to delete it. *Smile

    it wasnt a short cut it was listed in apps, I cant say I have ever had a 'shortcut does not exist do you want to castrate it' - nope!
