Thinkpads Forum

In the Windows Start menu, I have an entry for "ThinkVantage Productivity Center" below Help and Support, Search, and Run. I don't know what I did but this entry no longer works. When I click on it, I get an error message saying "Windows cannot find 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\ThinkVantage Productivity Center.lnk'." I can start ThinkVantage from another entry in the Start menu, so that's not a problem. I would like to know how I can remove the non-working shortcut from the Start menu. Alternatively, if that's not possible, how can I reactivate the link between the shortcut and the program?

you have to go through the registry to fix it. just do a search with the shortcut link.

I think I found the key that controls the shortcut:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartMenu\StartPanel\ShowOEMLink

I am at work now but will check tonight if editing this key solves my poblem.
