Pin to start menu (start8) Context Menu

from Stardock Forums

Hi all,

I have been using this product for about a week now and think its amazing! However there is just one question I would like to ask. Is there a way of removing the Pin to start menu (start8) Context Menu when your right click an item? The reason why is that I keep accidently clicking it and have to then unpin that item everytime I do.

Thanks a lot.

If that is right clicking from within the start menu, you can disable it via the following registry key :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\Start8\Start8.ini\Start8

AllowPin = 0

That should be a REG_SZ value.

If you mean in general explorer windows you would need to unregister the correct dll. (Start8Shell32.dll for 32 bit systems, Start8Shell64.dll on 64 bit)

From an admin command prompt you would type regsvr32 start8shell32.dll /u

Replace the 32 with 64 on a 64 bit install.
