How do I remove the Pin To Start Menu (Classic Shell) from my Windows 7 context menu?

Merge this to the registry (paste it into Notepad, save as .reg file and double click it) to remove "Pin to Start Menu (Classic Shell)":

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\StartMenuExt]
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\StartMenuExt]


However it may return after you update Classic Shell

Thanks, .reg didn't work, so went in and removed both manually. Did the trick.

In case you want to (a) not remove the keys while (b) still definitely disable the context menu entry (even after updating) I suggest simply blocking the corresponding CLSID:

Either from a command line:
Code:
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked" /v "{E595F05F-903F-4318-8B0A-7F633B520D2B}" /f

Or via a .reg file:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Shell Extensions\Blocked]
"{E595F05F-903F-4318-8B0A-7F633B520D2B}"=""

It might actually work. Every component has its own CLSID.

In Classic Shell 4.0.4, there is a new hidden setting "DisablePinExt". Add a DWORD value of this name to either HKCU\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings or HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu. A value data of 1 hides the "Pin to Start Menu (Classic Shell)" context menu item. This hidden setting is present as a Group Policy setting too called 'Disable the Pin shell extension'.

I still haven't been able to find out why Explorer (and only Explorer) on my x64 Win 7 Ultimate install cannot be pinned. I somehow unpinned it and now the only rightclick option I get on any Explorer taskbar button is Close Window.
