:wave:When i double click on a desktop shortcut i find that that icon goes to the start up menu list (left of all programs) as well. I don`t really need two of them. Any clues to stop this happening? I`ve included a picture of the start up menu.:wave:http://img133.imageshack.us/my.php?image=startmenumh6.jpg

Re: Desktop icons go to start up menu list

Hey, this annoyyed me aswell back when i was on XP, it's XP's recent programs list.

To avoid this happening:
- Right click start
- Click properties
(or go to control panel-> start-menu and taskbar)
- In the general tab:
-> change the "Number of programs on the start menu" to 0
- Click OK.

(The option is highlighted by the cursor in this image:)


Cheers,
Jamey
