"set video mode to opengl" in start menu

Postby geon » 17 Mar 2010 07:40

every time I start vlc by clicking on a movie, there is a new item in Start Menu "set video mode to opengl". There are not two or three, only one, but when I delete it, and start vlc again, it is there again. Is there a way how to get rid off this feature?
Thanks.

I get this often too.

The problem is not that the icon appears in Start menu, but that
"Set Video mode to OpenGL" (which I never use) appears, instead of "VLC media player" (which I use often).

Is Windows mixing the both up?

I have Windows XP Pro SP3.
