Hi,

Are you sure that the policy still applying ? Did you verify it with gpresult ?

Shortcuts are applied by preferences, not policies. Preferences not working in exactly the same way than policies.

By default, even when a GPO is no longer applied, preferences are not deleted, nor reset to their default values (for the control panel ones).

Best is to use the Common tab in the Shortcut properties (in the preferences) and check the "Remove this item when it is no longer applied" box. This is only possible if you had not delete the GPO. If so, re-apply the GPO, verify that client re-applyed it and then, remove it, preferences with this option checked should disappear.

If you had already delete it, then create a new one, and re-add the shorcut in it with "Delete" as Action.

Regards
