Can't move Administrative Tools to System Tools?

Why can't I move my Administrative Tools to the System Tools folder?

What's the point of having a System Tools folder if you can't put your
system tools into it?????

System tools are for "everyone" who uses the computer, including those with
little or no knowledge. You can't do much damage by using them.

Administrator tools, misused, can severely damage the system. Hence they are
limited to the administrator account only.

Hi,
Select Unhide system folders. The go to Program Data,Microsoft,Windows,Start
Menu, Programs. There you will find Accessories and Administrative Tools.
You can copy Administrative Tools into the System Tools folder inside
Accessories.

The folder DID move...

For some reason, when you drag folders around in the Start menu, they don't
disappear.

Sometimes you end up with duplicates as well. Right now I have TWO Games
folders in my All Programs list.
