Dan. Though Mike graciously donated lots of his time to gather the information and type it all out, try this method... 1. Press windows key + R to go to the Windows XP run dialogue. 2. Type this exactly shell:Start Menu then press enter. 3. Find the items you no longer want and press the delete key or use the Windows applications key.

HI Dan; The way Gerald mentioned is probably the easiest but, below is another way to do this. 1. Go to the desktop & press enter on My Computer. 2. Highlight Local Disk C, & press enter. 3. Arrow to & highlight Documents & Settings & press enter. 4. In this list of folders arrow to "your name" folder. If this isn't there go to the administtrator folder & press enter. 5. Arrow down to the start menu folder & press enter. 6. Now, arrow / highlight the item you want to delete, press your applications key/context menu key, arrow up to delete , & press enter. Or, you can arrow to item you want to remove ,press Alt + F, for the file menu, arrow up to the delete option ,& press enter. Do step #6 for each item you would like to remove from your start menu. Now, wasn't Gerald's suggestion much easier! I just felt like typing to take my mind off my last session with Doctor Phil, it really sucked! LOL Hope this helped you as much as it helped me! LOL Take care.

Hit Enter and the Item will be deleted.
