Hi,

When a new user logs into Win 10 (1607), ClassicShell Start Menu has items at the top of the menu, above my pre-pinned items (%appdata%\classicshell\pinned). How can I get rid of those from a batchfile?

See attached picture.

Thanks for your help.

B

These are the frequently used programs. You can turn it off using the "Show recent or frequent programs" setting. Set it to "Don't show".

Thanks. I actually want frequent and recent programs to show, I just want it to start with a blank list for a new user.

So, do you know a way to clear them out with a command line, thus avoiding having to right click and remove from list for each one for each person?

Also, why are they appearing above the pinned items? Shouldn't the recent/frequent list appear below the pinned items?

There is a Start Menu Setting on the Main Menu tab called "Show recent programs on top" that controls this. Frequent programs data is under control of Windows. I don't think Windows allows clearing them from the command line.
