    Where do you find the list of items pinned to the start menu?

    A reasonable 'guess' following a couple of simple experiments suggests the registry:

    - note the name there.

    - unless the data is held where access is restricted e.g. the WindowsApps folder.

    'Pin to Start' and 'Unpin from Start" items in Windows 10


    Thanks Cliff. The first suggestion didn't work because the shortcut icon is not listed. The second easier suggestion didn't work because right-clicking does not include "Open File Location" as an option, only "Unpin from Start" and "Resize". Screenshots are included. "xmltobgl" is the culprit icon.
