Now lets make a backup of it before we go editing it. HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband Click on it and paste in the following so we can quickly get to where we are going: At the top you'll see a bar that starts with the word "Computer" on it. This can be done manually by opening RegEdit.exe. If everything looks correct, delete all of the files in that folder. This should open a folder in your Users folder. %AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\ This can be done manually by opening the Run dialog (Win+R shortcut) and type in: The first line deletes all files (shortcuts) in the "Quick Launch \ User Pinned \ Taskbar" folder. The first 3 lines are comments and can be ignored. REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband /F Below are the following lines of the batch file:ĭEL /F /S /Q /A "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\*" We will be back to where we started, with still no clear answer. If the pinned taskbar buttons do show up while in clean boot, then go ahead and re-enable everything you disabled for the clean boot. I would start by first re-enabling all Services, reboot. Re-enable each of the programs a few at a time, rebooting each time, until you discover which program is re-adding the taskbar buttons. If the pinned taskbar buttons don't show up while in the clean boot, then it was one of the programs that you disabled that is actually creating those taskbar buttons each time you boot up. When you do the clean boot, you may notice that several programs may not work as they usually do. Be sure the check the button "Hide all Microsoft services" at the bottom of the window. There are basically 2 steps, you disable all start up programs, and disable all 3rd party services. If they don't, then it was one of the programs you disabled for the clean boot that is creating the pinning taskbar buttons.įirst, carefully read the instructions for a. You could try a clean boot right after running the batch file to see if they re-appear or not.
It could be a startup program that is automatically adding the pinned programs to the taskbar. You deleted the 3 programs then ran the batch file? Try running the batch again but leave the 3 programs in place first to see if this helps (it may not, but it's worth a try). The batch file is made to remove ALL of the programs so it will remove anything you want. This takes the problem to a whole new level I think. So these three programs (actually they are 6, but three of them I actually want to have there) are like a default setting I suppose. Now that I ran the batch file, it removed all the icons I added manually and READDED the ones that I wanted to delete. However, before I did that, I deleted the 3 programs that kept staying on there whatever I did.
#UNPIN PROGRAM FROM TASKBAR FOR ALL USERS WINDOWS 7#
Windows 7 will let you have any program pinned in both the start menu and the taskbar at the same time - to optimize both taskbar and start menu, however, it makes more sense to pin to the taskbar programs you use all the time (requires a single click), and keep pinned to the start menu those you don't use that often.Thank you for your input and effort, I ran the batch file. This is all it takes two unpin a program from the start menu in Windows 7: since it is so easy, can pin and unpin applications as you need them.From now on, whenever you want to run that application, you just needs to type its name in the start menu's search field, or navigate to it through the " All Programs" submenu (unless you have chosen to pin that program to the taskbar instead).For a fraction of a second, Windows 7 will highlight the program in orange, and then completely remove it from the pinned programs section of the start menu.Choose " Unpin From Start Menu" in the context menu.Locate the one you want to unpin, and then right-click on it.Windows 7 will show all the pinned programs at the top of the menu.Click on the Windows button to open the start menu.Follow these simple steps to unpin the program from your start menu:
