I noticed that in the "Disks" skin of rainmeter (I'm using NovaSen 2.0:

Is it safe to remove, or will it cause any problem?

Since it's a link to a program, you can do all what you want:
You can remove it.
You can "disable" it, adding a semicolon at the beginning of the line.
You can change the link to open another program.
...and so on.
My only suggestion is to remove "!Execute", it's not needed anymore and also it's deprecated.

Thanks! I was just about to assume there's no problem in deleting it and was gonna do it, but thank you nonetheless
EDIT: I removed the bit i put in the Spoiler and i can still open it? It's not in the way or anything, it's just a bit inconvenient since i have some folders next to it

The bang to open taskmgr.exe is in the '
system.ini' not the '
disk.ini'...
Open '
Nova\Specs\System\System.ini' and remove or delete
[meterTitle] section.
That will remove the action that launches taskmgr.exe

In what file?
You posted that meter in the spoiler of your original post; if you deleted it, then you won't see it in the 'disk.ini'. But I only see it in 'System.ini' in Nova, so until you edit the 'Sytem.ini' file, you will still be able to open taskmgr.
If you still can't find it, then we must be talking about different version from what you posted.
Bottom line is you can delete any mouse action from any skin and not effect anything else...
