Pinned Start menu items

[anything I don't mind]

I was getting annoyed with the windows 7 start menu, when the shortcut has one of those extender menus or task menus. Then clicking on the pinned items sometimes did not open the program and sometimes i had to click on it a few times and it would open twice and just be annoying.

So does anyone know how to disable the windows 7 start menu pinned shortcuts from extending in to jump lists and task lists. I can disable jump list but the menu still there.

I fixed it by making a bat file and shortcut

for opera, i created a bat file in the opera program files folder called mssucks.bat then i created a shortcut to the bat file and also put it in the opera directory.

contents of the bat file:

start /B /D "C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera" opera.exe

Then set the icon of the shortcut to the opera.exe and drag the short cut in to the pinned items area. The only downside is that there is a quick flash of a dos window.

Scroll down about half-way.
Untick 'Open submenus when I pause over them'.
Click OK. Click OK.

Feel the relief.
