Citrix users cannot remove old shortcuts from the Start Menu

Users are not allowed to right click and remove shortcuts. I found the location in the registry but it is encrypted. If I remove all of UserAssist, the Start Menu is empty.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\

After a day of searching I found this this tool that worked for my setup.

Now I am able to remove one outdated shortcut and leave the rest.
