| Well, it didn't disappear. But it got down the list normally as I started other stuff so I guess it'll be gone sometime. |

Hi!
I placed an lnk in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\<subfolder> started a program from CSM, which then appeared in the MRU list.
Then I removed that icon.
I got this in the MRU list:
(I can't remove it (no context menu), it doesn't start anything.) |

| You can't prevent indexing of folders but you can prevent returning them in search results. The search box supports the Windows Advanced Query Syntax. So you can type: <Your search term> —kind:folder(— means exclude items with the kind:folder). I see. Well, it l'll go back to making .lnk-s then. |
