Good find johnhc
I think you could use and mount the Software file from Mountdir\Windows\system32\config\Software. That represents the HKLM\Software
I'll have to try it next time around.

This is how I do 'pinned to start menu' http://www.msfn.org/...620#entry938620
This did not work on Win 8 VM so far, I installed that Windows 7 explorer for Windows 8 and my items are not pinned. I'll be looking into that.

Although it may be solved, I found an explanation of the mechanism.

GrofLuigi, in my searching in my quest, I found that site but since it was about XP, I paid little notice. Thanks and enjoy, John.

This works for me in Windows XP but it should be the same for 7. Just put the name of the .exe file you don't want showing up in the Start Menu.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;I don't want these in my Start Menu!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\Notepad.exe]
"NoStartPage"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\WinRAR.exe]
"NoStartPage"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\cmd.exe]
"NoStartPage"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\Wupdmgr.exe]
"NoStartPage"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\migwiz.exe]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\regedit.exe]
