Is there anyway of stopping a shortcut from appearing on the START menu?

    if what you are trying to do is stop a program loading at start up then look for an option to do so in the program itself or start - run - type msconfig and uncheck the box which relates to the program you want to stop. Reboot and that should do the trick.
