Uninstalling links
How I can uninstall links in start menu?

I tried Delete Command but it does'nt clean the icons in the start menu imediately after uninstall... (Windows 95, first version)

It works when I reboot the computer.

Exists some refresh command to do this?

Thanks

I don't know this problem in Win95. Does pressing "F5" reload the startmenu too in Windows/Win95? I don't think so, but I'm not sure of that.

If so, try this. It is actually meant to refresh the desktop, maybe it also reloads the startmenu.

Good luck,

After a quick search over the Net, I found this: http://www.wshscripting.com/view/1116.html. It should solve the problems.

Attached is the script I found there. It's a VBScript. Check also this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...efreshmenu.asp

So it runs on Win95, but only when IE 4.0 or newer has been installed. Just execute it with ExecShell.

Good luck, greetz,

Windows Script Host is not available on all systems (you can choose not to install it).
