| | How to manipulate the Start menu (Vista premium home) Vista premium home sp1 When ever I try to reorganize the Start menu, I'm told I cannot modify that folder. I have an administrator account and have turned UAC off from Control Panel/user accounts. However if I click on `C:\users\MYUSER\Start Menu' I'm told `File location is not accessable Access denied' How can I arrange the Start menu in some less dysfunctional way? Currently when I click on Start Menu/All programs I get a long list with no organization. I'd prefer a heirarchy of my own design. And on xp I could go to the Start Menu folder and organize anyway I liked. |

| | Re: How to manipulate the Start menu (Vista premium home) Hi, Your Start Menu is located here: C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu 'C:\users\MYUSER\Start Menu' is not a real folder, it is a junction point for backwards compatibility, hence your being unable to access it. <reader@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:u7ieyvmoh.fsf@xxxxxx Quote: > > Vista premium home sp1 > > When ever I try to reorganize the Start menu, I'm told I cannot modify > that folder. > > I have an administrator account and have turned UAC off from > Control Panel/user accounts.
