Classic Shell: Forum

In Win10, Classic Start menu indicates the metro apps icons.
I want to know the place where the shortcuts of these included.

With standard windows application, the shortcut of these is placed on
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
and
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

BUT, I cannot find the directory where the shortcut of metro apps.
Or, is this information stored in the registry?

They are shown from shell:AppsFolder.

Thanks, but my problem is, in fact, the other point.

I deleted Cortana by some cheating technic (rename folder and delete) and succeeded.
But, in start menu, some shortcut? of cortana still remains.
I want to delete it.

In the place Gaurav taught, this icon could not be deleted.
I think this is in registry setting.

Microsoft does not allow deleting the Cortana shortcut so you are stuck with it. Maybe in the future Ivo could code a "Hide app" feature in the context menu of the items in the Apps folder, and store the hidden apps in the Registry.

You could maybe create your own 'apps' folder manually. This would require adding any new apps as you install them though

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, I understand that MS intends to include Cortana as a part of OS itself.
But, Cortana is, I think, retrieving tool of personal SENSITIVE information and I do not want to use.
When turned off, still running searchUI.exe, then I feel so ugly.

Sorry, this is no relation with Classic Shell, and I love it so much.
