| | User Start Menu Location I found that I can right-click the START BUTTON and get access to all users start menu. Where on a Vista C Drive is a users start menu folder located? All of the normal XP locations dealing with a users profile are short-cuts that deny access. |

| | Re: User Start Menu Location When you say "run as administrator", do you mean being logged in under a user account that is a member of the Administrator's group? Or are speaking of Vista's "super admin" that's new?

It can be done from a Standard User account as well, you just have to type in your admin credentials when prompted for them. Charlie42 |
