By default, Windows 11's Pinned Items, shown above in the Start Menu looks very busy. The items got there because Microsoft thought they would be useful, or whatever. You don't have to live with it. I prefer a cleaner list of Pinned Items. I am just trying to get some work done, I don't need to look at an airplane cockpit full of buttons. I would remove the icons that I don't need and end up with something like this:
Now it is a lot cleaner, simpler. But what if I have a bunch of computers to setup and want them all to have the same list of Pinned Items. Just the useful stuff, nothing to distract the users. That's where an article like
comes in handy. Technically, when I apply the tip in the article it is not backing up but rather copying settings from one machine to another. On computer #1, just remove icons to your heart's content, save the file in some place, move on to the computer #2 and replace the file in the same location, done! Onward to computer #3 etc. In my case, the file is called start2.bin, so don't follow the article to a tee. Windows changes all the time, use the article as a guide.
