Vista start menu shows your most frequently used apps, which is great, I love it.

However, there are some apps which I use frequently through shell or such, that I do not want to appear on that menu. Winrar, Media Player Classic, Infranview...

I can right click on it to remove it, but it'll return to the menu shortly, how can I set it so that those apps never appear on the start menu.

Thanks.
