Make sure that you're running that command as Admin (or equivalent) user
account. Register this module as well:

regsvr32 /i browseui.dll

Restart.

If the system is connected to a domain, you need to talk to the network
admin, or have them run the regsvr32 commands in your system..

I found my problem. Right click on start, properties, start menu, customize
then click on use personalized menus. Checking this box should hide programs
I haven't used recently used and it doesn't. Is there a patch I need to
download or will running regsvr32 commands fix that problem?
