When I run firefox, windows adds it to the start menu / recent list. I am using nightly, but do not want it to appear in the start menu. Is there a way to prevent it? (win 7 home premium sp1)

edit: I know I can pin it to the start menu, but that's not what I'm doing. I have been removing it from the list with the context menu option, but it would be nice if it wasn't there in the first place...

What happens if you right-click > Remove from this list.

Does it just come back or is that permanent?

(Since I don't want to ban anything from my Start menu, I haven't tested it myself.)

I was just editing my question with that, but whenever I start ff again, it's there anew. I have looked up registry settings, but they don't seem to work (or I have no idea on how to make them work) nb: I will update my original question with more info on what I have done until now

You might search Microsoft's forums for a generic approach to preventing any program from appearing on the Start menu. I suspect the solution will be outside of Firefox.
