How to change default start menu folder in Windows 7
Hi,
I am the sole user of a system running Windows 7.
As a result, I got sick of specifying whether I wanted to install a program for just my own account of for all users. I decided to look up some instructions and change the shell folders in the registry so that both my start menu and the common start menu point to:
However, newly installed and updated programs continue to place their shortcuts in the following folder, giving me no choice but to manually copy and paste them:Code:C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
How do I tweak my system for all new programs to automatically go to the former folder and leave behind the latter completely?Code:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
