Start button - most used programms list

[Guest]

In the windows start menu, most left, you have a list of programms most used.
With a possibility to remove those items by invoking an appropriate
position from the context menu.
How can I prevent windows from placing there the programms
being once removed from that list ?

What about list items with strange targets ?
For example: The components of MS Office 2003 -
there is no usual target visible in the shortcut properties.

Or what with the list items having in the target line
as parameter a non-exe file with absolute path and some
another parameters ?

What registry key should I use for the NoStartPage string then ?

You still use the programname.exe

winword.exe
excel.exe
powerpnt.exe (i think)
