| | Creating Folders in START menu I am running Vista 32 bit Ultimate. There is so much MS junk in the 'All programs' menu that I would like to group it into a folder called 'miscellaneous.' But I can't see how to do this. I've tried 'open all users', explore all users,' but can't figure out how. This was easy in XP. -Pete -- ------------ "I have seen Vista, and the future is Linux." |

| | RE: Creating Folders in START menu Shortcuts on the Start menu reside in 2 places (more if there is more than 1 user account): C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu and C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs Shortcuts in the former can be seen only be seen when logged onto that user account. Shortcuts in the former can be seen by anyone. You can navigate to either of those locations in Windows Explorer and create the 'miscellaneous' folder. Then you can either use Explorer to move the offending shortcuts to that 'misc' folder OR open the start menu and just drag the shortcuts to 'misc'. And, yes, it's kind of a pain.
