Remove default pinned items from taskbar with gpo/p

I have created a custom windows 7 pro image through audit mode and then sysprepped it. Upon new user login, I notice that the three default taskbar items (IE, WMP, Explorer) are still there. How can I get rid of these with a gpo/p?
And yes, the CopyProfile tag is set to true in my sysprep.xml file.
Thank you.

Hi,
As far as I know, there is a Group Policy setting to change the Pin behavior.
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\Remove pinned programs from the taskbar
The pinned item information are saved in the following locations:
File System:
%APPDATA%\\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar
Registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband]
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Dale
No Dale, that does not help me. If I enable that gpo, it will prevent users from pinning items to the taskbar, we need our users to have that ability.
And if you delete the .lnk files from
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband]
it does not remove them from the taskbar, actually all it does is make it an unusable shortcut with no target.
And there is nothing in that registry key that is useful.
Any other suggestions?

Remove Powershell Pinned Item from taskbar for all users in 2008 R2 RDS server

Im trying to remove the Powershell Pinned Item from the taskbar on a 2008 RDS server. I have setup a mandatory porfile from a 2008 SP2 server (because you cannot do this in R2 any more), Check the default user pinned items folder, check the registry for powershell.exe, loaded up the NTUSER.DAT file for default to see if any thing obious was there, tried some logon scripts that are suppose to remove pinned items and posted on several forums. This has to be one of the simplest dumb things i have ever worked on , and its been about a week. So how do i remove it?
P.S.
having the user click un pinn is not a solution
yes i have checked C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Hi Jeramy,
The default pinned items are created the first time a user logs in. Modifying the default user profile won’t help here.
The easiest option is to set the “Remove pinned programs from the Taskbar” to disable taskbar pinned items altogether. The default pinned items won’t show up, but the user won’t be able to pin anything else either.
If you don't want to disable pinning altogether the solution is a little more complicated. One option is to remove the shortcuts “Accessories\Windows PowerShell\Windows PowerShell.lnk” and “Administrative Tools\Server Manager.lnk” from the common start menu folder. These shortcuts are copied to create the pinned items. If they aren’t present they can’t be pinned. This is not a supported option but it may work.
Another option is to use IStartMenuPinnedList::RemoveFromList in a first run script to remove the pinned items. Not sure how reliable this would be due to the timing of when the default items are added compared to when the script would run.
One other option is to use shell scripting to invoke the pin & unpin verbs on items:
http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2009/04/08/pin-items-to-the-start-menu-or-windows-7-taskbar-via-script.aspx
This would need to be done when the user first logs in (since unpinning default items in the default user profile won't affect each new user account), but it also need to be timed after Explorer sets up the default pinned items as explained above.
Hope one of these options work for you!

How do I removing a specific item from an Array?

Hi there.
I am having an array of movieclips and when my circle(controlled with the keyboard) hitTests true with one of the movieclips inside that array i want to remove that movieclip from the array so when i hitTest it again it returns false (I hitTest using a "for in" with that array).
How do i remove a specific item from within an array?
Can someone help me? Thanks a lot.

i haven't noticed anyone showing deference because of the points. in fact, i've seen some people (a minority, to be sure) be just obnoxious about it. i never encountered that before: some people feel they have power because they can dole out points.
but overall i agree with you: the loss of the list of threads i am participating in, along with the most recent posters name, is a significant drawback of the new forums. and there's nothing new in these forums that offsets that drawback.
in addition, i think we've lost way more than 1/2 the older threads. that's a lot of information that's no longer available.

Is there a way to remove items from "Open With" list?

I have an interesting dilemma that I have not yet found an answer to in all of my internet/discussion forum searches. Maybe I'm asking the wrong questions or searching in the wrong places, but I've given up and now have to post the question in hopes there's an answer out there.
My issue is that whenever I want to use the "Open With" feature for an image/jpeg file, the list of choices is massive! Looking at it now, it lists over 30 applications, but at most I would only ever want to open this type of file in one of maybe four applications.
Starting off, I used to have Parallels on my computer. Have since purchased VMWare Fusion 4 and now use that as my virtual machine to run Windows for some of my design work. As far as I know, I had removed ALL of Parallels from my computer when I uninstalled the app. I followed all of the instructions in the uninstall process, but there seems to be something left behind.
It may seem that mentioning that wouldn't have anything to do with the "Open With" function, but here is a screen shot to show what happens whenever I right-click an image file:
http://www.virtuosocreative.com/apple/openwith1.jpg
Most of the time, if I right click the image, it'd be to open in Photoshop or Set as Desktop. On occasion I have had to open a jpeg file in Illustrator, but that's it.
For some reason, there are still Parallels applications showing on the "Open With" list, even though it was uninstalled and removed from my computer. But like I said earlier, it looks like I missed something.
In addition, although I am not logged into Windows or have Fusion running in the background, the "Open With" list includes all of the suggested Windows apps as well. why???
As much as I appreciate there being such an abundance of options to choose from, this gets extremely annoying when using the feature and I wanted to see if there was any way to modify this list.
More than anything, I really want to get rid of all the Parallels extras that are left on my system. But also, I wanted to see if there was a setting to tweak so that whenever I click on "Open With" on my Mac, it'll only list applications that are my Mac applications and nothing through Fusion or Parallels or anything else. And to take it a step further, it'd be nice to shorten the list to only applications I would personally use for opening a jpeg file. (i.e. Preview (default), Photoshop, Illustrator, Safari).
My system is a 2010 iMac i5 2.8GHz/8GB RAM. Lion OS X 10.7.3
Thanks!

The Open With menu is built by LaunchServices which collects the information from each app as to what it says it can open. VMWare appears to be registering every app to open jpegs.
You might try rebuilding the LaunchServices database. I believe this command still works in Lion. Or, you could use a utility like OnyX to call it:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

Removing Items from "Open With" Menu

I have installed Adobe CS2 awhile back on both my computers. Since I have have done so. Selecting the "Open with" on a selected image file brings up a list of maybe 40 options. Constrain to 200 Pixels and all this other crap. Honestly, it's screwed up a few of my files by accidentally clicking on them. The program will open.. run the script and close. I just want help on getting these items of my list. without removing the apps.
Thanks alot!

Mike has the right of it. What I did was to make a list of all the droplets and store it in the droplets folder, then zip all of them except one I actually sometimes use. There is also a folder full of droplets for Image Ready. Should I ever want to see what's there for some batch processing I can consult the list, unzip, and use. Then toss.

Remove Items from "Open With" Menu

I installed Photoshop CS2 last week and it added a ton of unnecessary and unwanted items in the "Open With" menu in Tiger...
Sorry that image is so large, but imagine having to look at that on a regular basis. Can I remove all of that crap?! It's slowed Tiger's performance considerably.

If you are never going to use them, you can simply trash and restart. Or you can do what I (and many others) have done and leave the ones you do use and zip the rest. They are here:
"/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS/Samples/Droplets"
There's one folder for Photoshop, and second for ImageReady.

Remove default export setting from media encoder... or allow mass deletion

Every time I drag media into AME, it pulls up the most recent setting, or maybe a default I have set somewhere, and applies it to my entire import.
I cant figure out how to "mass swap" with my desired setting, so i end up deleting 12 or 13 settings, one by one, and applying my desired settings.
Can I remove ALL defaults, so I can just drag what I want... OR is there a better way to remove all preexisting settings and replace them with my own?

Your image is still queued so I cannot see it but yes there are tiny black bars on the left and right sides of the screen. This is probably due to some round off errors in the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio). I think I read that Adobe made some corrections from previous versions that ended up distorting the image

Remove default Price Unit from PO Condition type

Hi,
I'm an ABAPer.
We have a requirement to remove the default(which is '1') Price Unit(PEINH) from 'Conditions' Tab in PO for a particular PO Type.
Could you please suggest if there is any customizing for this?
Thanks & Regards,
Adithya M.

Sorry.. My first sentence was a typo..
As of my knowledge, You can can't set the field as blank.
It can be defaulted on PO via info record.
If you maintain the field value as 100 in info record, then it will carry to PO.

How to remove an unknown item from startup?

I have an HP printer, which automatically installed two applications at my MPB startup.
The problem is that one of them (HP EventHandler) is described as an unknown kind and therefore cannot be removed, even after I insert my password.
I've already tried to delete the another one (HP Scheduler), but it doesn't make any difference to the Event Handler.
I would appreciate any other ideas.

Uninstall and reinstall the HP software that came with the unnamed HP machine, go to HP's site, and install the latest drivers for it, and finally reinstall the latest HP update from Apple. BTW, that app exists in /Library/Printers/hp/hpio/ and there's an HP launch agent in /Library/LaunchAgents/.

Outlook remove empty pst folders from stores with powershell script

I created a script that finds all pst folders in the My Documents folder of a user, moves those PST files and attaches the PST to outlook after they've been moved.
If PSTs in a user's my documents folder was attached to Outlook before the script is run. after the script runs successfully in the outlook profile those PSTs would have two entries in the stores, an old reference that is because the PSTs have been moved
those folders can no longer be opened in outlook and each time a user attempts to open the folder it prompts you to browse for the new location of the PST. Then the new entries in the stores which were added via the script.
I want to add removing those empty folders or rather those folders with broken file paths from outlook to my script. Because of these broken folders i can't enumerate through the list of attached folders in outlook, the script errors outlook.
I need help scripting (PowerShell) the task of removing broken folders from the outlook stores
thanks

Here is a sample of the kind of code you need to work with:
$ol=New-Object -ComObject Outlook.Application
$ns=$ol.GetNamespace('MAPI')
foreach($store in $ns.Stores){
if($store.IsDatFileStore){$ns.RemoveStores($store)}
# use $ns.AddStore() to reattache a store.
# inbox dor account must be retrieved and maintained.
If you are not sure how to proceed then post in the Outlook Developer forum. They should have many examples of how to move PSTs given different versions and scenarios.
You can also find many examples here:

Accidently removed "Contextual Menu Item" from /Library

Hello
I was testing an application called iTrash during which it seems like i have deleted the "Contextual Menu Items " folder as its no longer present and i can no longer right-click anywhere on my Snow Leopard. I don't have any backups. Can someone tell me how i can recover that folder or if i can download the files needed to have in that folder (just the original ones) to regain the Right-click again?
Trash is empty so i can't recover from there. Can someone please help

Normally, that folder's empty. Just recreate it. However, it has nothing to do with right-clicking and getting contextual items. Something else is amiss. Check System Preferences->Mouse and ensure that you haven't disabled the right click. BTW, there isn't any Archive & Install in Snow Leopard, just install.
