This setting allows you to decide which programs may be shown in the most frequently used programs list on the Windows Start menu.
Open your registry and find the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications]. Under this key are a series of sub-keys representing the installed applications.
To stop a specific application appearing on the MFU program list open its sub-key and create a new empty string value called "NoStartPage".
To allow an application to be shown in the list delete the "NoStartPage" value.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
