Start menu icon removal

[kat]

I have tried several times now to remove what I guess are the default
programs from the left side of my start menu. I remove them from the list
but as soon as I restart the computer they come right back. What do I have
to do to make them stay gone?
Thank you.

If you just ignore them the ones you don't use will go away.

Might help if you told us what icons....try right clicking the START
orb, choose PROPERTIES, CUSTOMIZE
