In Windows 7, how can I remove the “music” and “picture” option from the right panel of the start menu? When I right click on them, there’s no option to remove or delete (as some forums suggest). When I go to the start menu customize menu, everything else except those two are listed as something I can choose to “don’t display this item.” Can someone help?
