Unable to Turn off A Menu Item

jsteiner · 11-19-05, 11:48 PM

For some reason one of my apps shows twice on the Menu item selection list. One of them is selected, when I try to turn it off I get an error message "Unable to move that item". Anyone have any ideas on how do I
1. Get rid of the dups on the list
2. Fix the error so I can uncheck the app

Did you try a soft reset?

Are you kidding, I upgraded to WM 5.0, I can't begin to count the number of soft resets I've performed since then!

But alas the problem persists

I finally figured it out, aka stumbled into to the solution. The link existed in two places, in \windows\start menu and in \windows\start menu\programs. I deleted the link in \windows\start menu and the problem went away, i.e. only one entry on the pick list and no more error message when I clicked on it.
