Thanks for your replies gentlemen.
I would not know how to add the entry to the registry as suggested by
Ayush. (I am a bit nervous that I would omit some step everyone else
would know about automatically, and muck up a sytem that is otherwise
OK). Method 2 sounded safer to me as it relied on an automatic process.
However could not get it to work. This is what I did.
Went to Kelly korner 160 RHS etc
Saved a file called startmenunpin registration entries
Clicked RUN
nothing much appeared to happen
restarted computer
right clicked on pinned OE icon and title in start menu
no menu appeared so still unable to select the unpin option

160. Right hand side.
Disable or Enable Pin to Start Menu - Right Click
Click on Enable.
startmenupin.reg is the file that you want.

In Ian_H <Ian_H @discussions.microsoft.com.> hunted and pecked:
Windows XP Home. Following a downloaded tuneup I mysteriously lost
Outlook Express. I used system restore and got the program back with
the icon pinned to the start menu. I wanted icon on desktop so right
clicked on OE in start menu but the menu I expected, (giving the unpin
option), did not appear. Does anyone know how to restore this option ?
Thanks - Ian
