THAT'S what I was looking for, Neil. I found 176 items. When I deleted all of the image files, my list was back to normal. Problem solved. Thanks! Any idea how they might have wound up there? They were files that I was copying from CDs using Multi Commander., along with thousands of others.
On an external HDD. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the follow through.
The list is the list of items pinned to Start10, the same one I have been referring to all along, the one that is populated with irrelevant files. I am not comfortable posting a video of my system. Perhaps I am using the wrong terminology. When I refer to list, I mean the main Start10 menu. As you can see below, it is populated with jpgs rather than my pinned programs and files. Hope this helps. Thanks. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.u
Yes, it does. But when I select that, it does not appear in the list.
I am going offline now. I am GMT -8. I hope we can find a solution to this problem in the morning. Thanks for all your help.
It is not solved. The purge removed my appearance options, but not the content. So when I rebooted, it looked different, but the list was the same.
After purge and reinstall, the appearance is changed, but the content is unchanged. Thanks.
I don't have that option on recent items, and on desktop icons, I only have "pin to start". Perhaps my installation is corrupt. I will uninstall and reinstall Start 10. Thanks for working on this with me.
As I mentioned previously, that does not happen.
To clarify, the incorrect items WERE carried over to Start10 when I upgraded. One interesting issue is that after I installed Start10 and rebooted, the Start8 icon appeared. I uninstalled Start8 and reinstalled Start10. The incorrect pinned items never changed. Thanks for bumping my problem up.
Also, when I attempt to "pin to Start", the item does not appear. And when I attempt to "unpin from Start menu", another image file takes it's place.
I've been using Start8 with Win 10 all along. The issue appeared in Start8. I upgraded to Start10 in hopes that it would correct the problem, but it did not. Thanks.
A few hours ago, all of my pinned programs were replaced by recently opened image files. I had been running Start8. Purchased and installed Start10--no fix. When I click on "all programs', they display as before. When I click back, it displays those same image files (which open as expected). I have a full system backup from last night. Where can I find my previously pinned files?? Win 10 19041.630
