Question : Avoid pinned programs expanding in Windows 7 start menu

Friends,

Please, how can I avoid pinned programs expanding in Windows 7 start menu? (See attached picture for example.)

I don't want those little arrows to appear, for I don't use them and I don't care for them.

Thanks for your time.

Answer : Avoid pinned programs expanding in Windows 7 start menu

Unfortunately, as a programmer, I think I can 100% say that this functionality is built in to the application concerned (which is why you don't get it on every application).  In terms of turning it off I can find no method to allow this and I don't think it is possible.  The only thing you can prevent is windows using jump lists to show recently opened documents/websites.  Let me know if this is useful and I'll explain how to turn these off.  For application jump lists it looks like you're stuck with them I'm afraid.

Regards,
