e.g., the two places where start menu shortcuts are stored under WinXP are:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
C:\Documents and Settings\Loretta\Start Menu

I could sort all of the subfolders under my user logon together. Or look at
the nested folders in a directory tree "branch." (Remember directories?)

Now, with Vista I get this instead:

Start Menu (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users)
Start Menu (C:\Documents and Settings\Loretta)

Which of course sorts all last-level folder names alphabetically. This is
useless to me; if I knew what the folder name was, I would have just searched
for the folder name.

Is there a way to set Vista so that it will give a GOOD folder path?

Hi Loretta,

You can use Option One in this tutorial for how to add the column "Path" and remove the column "Folder" for what you are wanting.
