make sure you have the path rignt. type

dir "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu Inicio\Asistencia remota.lnk"

if you get "The system cannot find the file specified." then the path is wrong.

use the /F /Q option with delete to delete read only files.

del /F /Q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\TextPad.lnk"

ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users so you could write

del /F /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\TextPad.lnk"

I like to check that a link exists before deleting it.

if exist "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\TextPad.lnk" del /F /Q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\TextPad.lnk"

you might want to delete these from the default profile during the RunOnceEx stage of setup to. Otherwise any new profile that is created will inherit its start menu items from there.
