How do I manually remove the "My Documentation" icon? (Solved)

Kei — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 22:43:21 GMT

After having have to reinstall using those stupid pre-designed Sony recovery discs. I had to remove all of the junk that the recovery discs have installed, so in the process I also removed My Info Centre, etc.
But the "My Documentation" shortcut in the Start Menu, i.e. where the Help & Support, Run... shortcuts are located, is still there.
The start menu customization doesn't include the My Documentation shortcut, so I can't remove it from there.
Hence is there a way to remove it, since it's obselete now, and I don't want it anyway in the first place.

Thanks.

Okay, I've traced the reg key and it's:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2559a1f7-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}

I've tried deleting the whole key, but it still leaves the blank space in between where it used to be, and that space doesn't get removed.

Any ideas?

Huh, never mind. I've got it resolved myself.
Enter RegEdit, and in ShowOEMLink, change the DWORD value for NoOMELinkInstalled to 0.
Reboot.
Then, optionally remove the reg key, since it's useless.
Easy.
