Option to disable adding start menu entries

When I install a game, Galaxy automatically creates a 'GOG.com' start menu map, with a subfolder for the installed game. I know that the standard GOG installer does that, but since I use Galaxy to launch the game, that start menu entry is superfluous and annoying. I'd like an option to not have Galaxy create that start menu entry.

I only recently installed my first GOG games.
I will not buy a single GOG game anymore until this is fixed.
Going back to buy on steam, which is NOT cluttering up my start menu.

Please add this as a feature.

But at this stage I'd even be happy with a GOG Galaxy folder and all games installed into that instead just to keep the menu free of clutter (assuming Windows 11 allows for that in the Start menu).

This has been requested since 2015 (!!). Yes, please make Start Menu icons an option during game install or in the client itself. I always use Galaxy to launch my GOG games and so definitely have no need for unnecessary Start Menu icons.

Please put a checkbox option in the Galaxy client and respect that this is *my* computer and *I* decide how to use it (I get enough of this from Microsoft already) and this is not how I use the start menu; virtually every other installer is polite enough to have a checkbox for Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts. I do not use shortcuts for GOG games--that is why I have the Galaxy client in the first place! I cleaned this up manually and after the games automatically patched my start menu is full of GOG litter.

Until GOG decides to add this, you can use Power Automate to clean everything up for you. You just need to have a microsoft account and you can download power automate desktop. Then you create a flow just like this: imgur.com/a/ahK0QUn and if you run power automate as admin and kick that off it'll do the job.

Is this fixed? I stopped using more than a year ago gog galaxy because of this issue. Now that is black Friday I am buying all my gog games again in steam, because I doubt they fixed this. I am afraid to even install the application as I dont want to have garbage in windows, this is worse than spyware, is corruption of the system with thousands of entries. I am still waiting, hopefully some day this will be fixed. I heard that in Mac is even worse and you get an awful corruption to the launchpad and you need to restore the Mac to be able to keep clean Mac of unnecessary garbage, so stay away from gog Galaxy, only install it under a virtual machine or in a computer that you will not use for anything else

This is like the simplest fix possible and makes such a big impact. I actually was just searching online to see 'how' to do this because I assume it was 'me' being too stupid to find the option.

It's not 1997. Nobody uses the start menu to find their games. They either use the client (Such as GOG Galaxy) or a Frontend (LaunchBox, HyperSpin, etc).

The idea that nobody at GOG sees this as worth taking the relatively minimal time to fix this is honestly kind of shocking. (Relative to how long Gog Galaxy has been around, and how long this has been reported as a problem)

I sent a "support request" about these matters to the support staff, at support.gog.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?product=gog - you start off by "chatting" to a bot.. then, when it doesn't understand what you need support on, click on OTHER and paste a message about the issues at hand (start menu shortcuts which are unwanted/undesired)... provide your email address, and wait for the bot to fwd your request to their support staff. I also uploaded a screenshot, showing a bunch of GOG entries for games on my windows start menu. Hopefully that helps. Perhaps if more people did this, they might be more willing/likely to attend to the problem ;)

BTW It seems that removing the shortcuts (one by one) from the Windows 10 start menu, doesn't really help much, since GOG just adds them back again whenever games are updated! It also adds lots of Add/remove programs entries - even when I have my games install folder set to an external USB drive. Is there no way to contact GOG and discuss these issues with them directly?

Yes, please get this done gog. Having a crap load of games hanging off the (win-10) start menu isn't fun. Well, since its been years and gog doesn't seem to care .. Has anyone figured out a quick and decent way to do this? Getting over 240 games off the S-Menu isn't going to be fun. I wish someone would write a utility / program to do this.

Just found that you should be able to delete the folders by going to one of the areas below.

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

C:\Users\"UserNameFolder"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

Keep in mind, for the second link, you need to put your profile user name (mine is "Admin") in place of the quotation marks. However, I think each update might put them back in. I'll keep an eye on them to see.

This has been requested for over 5 years now. All that needs to happen is the line of code that creates these start menu folders and links needs to be disabled or deleted. Why has this not been done yet? Is GOG really that busy that they cannot take a few mins to disable a line or two of code after their paying customers have asked for it for 5 freaking years?

Still doing it. I wrote a python script to delete them. It runs at windows startup. Not a pretty solution but it works. There really should be an option for this though. I have my own folder I organize games in and that's linked in the start menu. I don't need GOG creating its own.

Is this fixed? I stopped using more than a year ago gog galaxy because of this issue. Now that is black Friday I am buying all my gog games again in steam, because I doubt they fixed this. I am afraid to even install the application as I dont want to have garbage in windows, this is worse than spyware, is corruption of the system with thousands of entries. I am still waiting, hopefully some day this will be fixed. I heard that in Mac is even worse and you get an awful corruption to the launchpad and you need to restore the Mac to be able to keep clean Mac of unnecessary garbage, so stay away from gog Galaxy, only install it under a virtual machine or in a computer that you will not use for anything else

This absolutely needs to be added. I hate that.
I like to keep my Start menu clean, and I use a launcher to start my games, I don't need their shortcuts there (let alone entire folders of stuff).
Please, add an option to disable this! ♥
I use GOG Galaxy 2.0 - as I've read it, the installer itself creates the folders and icons, so it should be the same fix for 2.0 and the old Galaxy. Either way, it is much needed and would be welcome.

I'm glad I am not the only one who want this feature! My start menu is already cluttered enough. It would be nice to opt out and just be able to launch games via Galaxy just like I would on Steam.

This should really be a thing by now. The Start Menu clutters up so easily on its own, it'd be nice to not have to delete folders Galaxy creates.

It's 2019 and GOG is still creating worthless start menu program groups I will never use. It's also still installing games with hideous custom icons I always have to change out, but I've given up on GOG ditching their deplorable icons. I suppose there's a reason the general public can't name a single Polish artist.

I would love this feature. It's annoying when you already use the Galaxy launcher.

For the love of god please this. I put all the game shortcuts in my "GAMES" folder, but whenever an update happens (or just whenever it feels like it, I don't know) galazy puts a new copy back into the root programs folder again. My start menu is so big on my laptop it doesn't even fit on the screen anymore because of this and I use classic start menu, in multi column mode. I'm constantly deleting and moving those shortcuts. It's getting a bit on my nerves.

I have around 200 games. For me the only option is to install all games in a virtual machine in vmware as then I dont have my windows collapsed with200 start menu entries, 200 unnecessary registries and 200 entries in add/remove programs, this is stupid as a VM reduces the game quality, but is is that or destroy my Windows with garbagage

I wouldn't mind if it installed it under 1 folder gog.com or whatever. But spamming my start folder gets annoying.

I also want this. I'd like to run my games from GOG Galaxy, Like I do with Steam, and EA Origin. Please make this possible, thank you.
