Game icon unremovable (resolved)

from Stardock Forums

Hello Stardock,

 first of all, I would like to thank you for your amazing software which prevent me to delete Win8 and get back to Seven.

I have an annoying issue with my game shortcuts in the start menu which cannot be removed at all. I think this is my fault when I tried to drag and drop some shortcuts (from the desktop to the game section of the start menu) generated by Steam after the installation of a game. Now I have these shortcuts without icons cluttering my list (see the screenshot below) and to top it all they don't work :)

The right click does not work on them as well. I tried to reinstall Start8 but the icons are still here, maybe I can delete them manually with regedit or something but I don't know how!

Thanks for your help, keep up the good work!

Hi, I experienced this issue . This issue has nothing to do with Start8 .
To resolve this issue simply download "GameExplorerBuilder" google for it .
Start the appliction it will show you all the games in your game explorer, you can
delete any game and you can install new games proerly using this application.
The issue of missing game icons can be resoloved by changing the windows themes to one of the high contrast theme, and then back to your normal theme.
Good luck
