Anyone have an answer to my question: How to remove "Pin to Starmenu (Start8)" from the context menu?

Why do i get no support with a Software that I paid for?

Maybe I'd be better advised if I'm using Open Source Software...

You can remove that option by running from an elevated command prompt :

regsvr32 start8shell64.dll /u

and

regsvr32 start8shell32.dll /u

Thank you very much, Neil. 

 

Is there also a way to restore the default setting or is it better to reinstall Start8 to restore the default setting?

To bring it back just run those commands without the /u bit
