Hello.

How to delete Internet Explorer shortcut here C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

I can't find the shortcut and delete it when WinReducer has mount the WIM file, because its user specific.

So i hope someone has a solution.

I also need to remove the pinned shortcut too, and i think its user specific too.

Hi

you need to enable the "hidden folders" funktion at explorer. now you will see some more folders at user

i think the shortcut is at

C:\Users\Default
and
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

what you could also do when enabled the hidden folder. just go to the folder where "windows, users etc " folders are (mounted dir) and search for your shortcut.
