Removing Pinned Items from the start menu

by ryan.perkins . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

OK where I work we have all windows xp machines and are running (please dont laugh) Office 97. I am over the project to move to Office 2007. Simple right? Well not really I have overcome a few big issues thus far but seem to be stuck on removing the pinned shortcuts for Office 97. Before we get into that let me just say that we do not use active directory to point the user account to its profile, instead there are modifications made to the Windows default user and that is what is used by everyone when they log in. With that being said I am trying to figure out a few things 1-Is the pinned item list a registry entry for the default user and if it is where does it reside because it is not located the same as in current user 2-how can I remove just the Office 97 pinned items without visiting each computer (250+)
I have found the reg entry for the pinned items for current users but the structure for the default user is totally different (at least in terms of the registry entries) ANy help on this would be great.
