2 undeletable folders in start menu

strange problem here folks. i tried installing a program tonight (creation manager 08 for FIFA 08) and it won't run in 64 bit vista or under compatibility mode.
OK so i uninstall. NOW there are 2 'CM08' folders in my start menu i can't delete. they have no 'delete' option when i right click, and when i explore or explore all users in the start button, the folders aren't there. is there a hidden start menu folder somewhere or any way to get rid of these unneeded folders? thanks everyone

Hi Violent Ken,

Have you tried to restart the computer to see if they will go away then? Sometimes it's just a refreshing issue that a restart will clear up.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
