History: In a previous windows installation, I had a shortcut to a file
folder which I placed in the Start Menu (the shortcuts that stay there
all the time). I upgraded to Windows XP MCE 2005 and brought all my
old settings (from XP Professional) via the Files and Settings Transfer
Wizard (FSTW).

Problem: The folder shortcut came along too, but now I don't want it
anymore and I cannot delete it.

Attempted solutions:
-Right clicking and choosing "remove from list" does not get rid of it.
It juts does nothing with no errors or anything.
-It doesn't show up when exploring or opening the start menu folder.

Question: Is there some registry key I can delete or some way to
rebuild the start menu shortcuts or something I can do to get rid of
it? Thanks to anyone who can help.
 
okay so fortunately I still had my old windows installation on a
different partition so i booted to that, deleted the shortcut and redid
the whole FSTW thing and that worked. stupid solution for a little bug.
