Location of the Desktop Right-Click Menu Items

I am trying, unsuccessfully to date, to locate where the shortcuts that come up when one right-clicks the lower left corner of the desktop screen (I don't know the name of this menu). It contains such things as "Programs and Features", "Mobility Center" and several others.

Thanks in advance for any help available.

I assume you mean the power menu (win key +"X")

What makes you think they are shortcuts?

Hello:

I just assumed that it was similar to other menus - I would like to change some of them.

If it isn't a set of shortcuts, where does it come from?

Thanks in advance!

It is a set of shortcuts, but they've managed to make it more complicated than that. here's an explanation

Hi ,

Thank you for your question.

It just icon, we could navigate to the following path to remove it:

C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX

There are three groups, we could remove it or cut it to other path, then logoff and logon user to make it work, I have tested successfully:

Group1: Desktop

Group2: Task Manager, Control Pane, Windows Explore, Search, RUN

Group3: Programs and Features, Network Connections, Power Options

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim
