gemal Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 According to Microsoft recommendation you should NOT put a uninstall link into the start menu. All uninstallation should be performed from the Add/remove programs applet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators hazelnut Posted March 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted March 10, 2010 It is merely a recommendation not a requirement. The reason they seem to give is this.. The Start menu is designed to give users easy access to launch applications. Usability studies show that when the Start menu becomes too cluttered, users can no longer do this Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfd1500 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 its just a shortcut anyway....if you dont like it go to: documents + settings > user name > start menu > programs > CCleaner then open the CCleaner folder and delete the shortcut.... not a big deal....and besides, it takes forever to populate that stupid add/remove list in the control panel...just an unnecessary waste of time...

Uranus One Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 They are only Microsoft excuses. The functionality of the Start Menu System is slow by itself, then when you have fewer icons, will be faster. The start menu system every time you open it, check ( for each shotcut ) the existence of the file, extract the icon and resize it, and then it shows. A stupid mistake is that if for example a shortcut (points to a file or folder) and that is on a network drive "not available", the start menu is delayed 30 seconds or more, for every time you open the menu.
