Vista start menu shows your most frequently used apps, which is great, I love it.

However, there are some apps which I use frequently through shell or such, that I do not want to appear on that menu. Winrar, Media Player Classic, Infranview...

I can right click on it to remove it, but it'll return to the menu shortly, how can I set it so that those apps never appear on the start menu.

I have used the customized the recent items menu to zero and then pinned the items I want to see on a regular basis to the Start Menu creating my own custom start menu with no annoying recent items menu.

Right Click on the Taskbar/Properties/Start Menu/Customize

You can go through you list of applications and RightClick/Pin to Start Menu any and all programs you want to appear on your start menu. You can even drag them into any order you wish.

That's true, but that would mean not having a recent list. I like the recent list, just with exceptions. – Ben Mar 30 '10 at 19:36
