Win 7- Remove desktop toolbar options

[vroom_skies]

Hey all,
I can't seem to find an easy way to remove some default links in the desktop toolbar menu.
I've attached a screen shot for ya. I don't want any link that has a red dot next to it.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried right clicking on the offending articles and "removing from list"?

Not sure if its an option over there but worth a try.

Not an option

disable the toolbar completely.

That would defeat the whole purpose.
I love the desktop toolbar. I just have no use for the default links they've included on Win7.

Right click on on the toolbar and click Open Folder. Then delete the shortcuts you don't want.

Maybe i missed it. try:
right click start
properties
task bar
check the box auto hide.

unless i misunderstood. it shows up on my taskbar.
plus several shortcuts i use i don't want on the desktop.
on the task bar.

if it works check use small icons
I use it because i want often used icons on the bottom.
not on the desktop. im watching though. im curious.
