Solved "Blank Pin" on Start Menu. Getting rid of it?
Hey there,
This'll be the 2nd time I'm having this problem, the first being fixed after having done a system restore.
It's that out of randomity, my Start Menu has this "Blank Pin" that is simply empty and unwanted space.
Even so this is the 2nd time, I have been unable to identify the source of this problem nor a way to fix it. I do want a way to get rid of this.
The "Blank Pin" is located on the bottom of the Start Menu.
The Blank Pin
My mission is to fix this without having to do another System Restore.
