how to delete vista folders

i have two folders in my startup menue that i want to delete:

Autostart
Verwaltung



i tried to delete them (right click > delete).
but when i restart my computer the folders are there again :-(

how can i get vista to stop renewing those damn folders.

ps. i run vista german. i assume the folders are called autostart and administration in english.

try right clicking the folder, then clicking properties, and look at the file location and go there and delete it. Then try deleting the folder in the menu. (might work)

i tried that, but it did not work :-(

maybe you can get rid of it by going into the control panel, clicking programs, then clicking Programs & Features, then in the column on the left clicking "Turn windows features on or off". Maybe something in there but it's a long shot.

Or, go into the folders location (like before) but instead of deleting it, right click and go into properties and set it to hidden. Then delete it from the start menu.

Is it that much of a pain to have it there?

I added a test folder to Start menu. When I right click it, there is no Delete command but 'Remove from this list'. When I choose the command, the folder disappears from menu and never returns.

thx DOMINATOR the hide folder and delete thing worked.
