Disable the shortcut in the start menu

Post by jasenhot »

Good day!
How can I disable the automatic addition of a program shortcut in the windows 10 program list?

ps
Some antiviruses warn about editing the registry. If I use the portable version, it gets in the way a lot!

You mean you'd like to remove EPIM from the Windows start menu?

Yes. In the portable version and on someone else's computer is not required.
And after my work, a non-working label will remain.

Is that a regular Windows start menu on your screenshot? As it doesn't look so and EPIM Portable would never add itself there. Looks more like a list of recently used apps collected by the system.

Not sure what view is on the screenshot, but on opening EPIM Portable creates a shortcut in the Start Menu, path:

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

It was discussed this summer, and back then the conclusion was the following:

You're right, it's part of the Windows 10 start menu. Is it possible to make an item in the settings to disable adding a shortcut: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs ?

It is possible, however not planned for the nearest releases.

Thank you, I will wait for the realization of this opportunity!
When will it be possible to wait for execution?

The more users request this option, the faster it usually gets implemented. Thanks!
