Start Menu - All Programs Files Management

In XP I was able to manage the All Programs file through Documents and
Settings, Start Menu, Programs. I like to group programs in folders thereby
making the Start, All Programs easer to use.

In Vista I have been unable to figure out how to do the same thing. Need
Help!

Re: Start Menu - All Programs Files Management

Right click the Start Orb and choose either 'Open all users' or 'Explore all
users' (same thing).

It isn't really the same thing from I can tell. There is something weird
that does on with the Startup folder.

Right click Start then choose Explore all users. The folder they are in is:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

I can open the regular programs but not the ones that I have saved in my
favorite file etc. They just freese up.
