Start Menu - All Programs - "Sort All Programs Menu By Name" Issues
It seems that the issues I am dealing with appear to happen when I turn off (uncheck) the setting - "Sort All Programs Menu By Name"
Say in my "all programs" section I have the following items....
Code:Program A (launcher) Program B (launcher) Program C (launcher) Accessories (Folder) Games (Folder) Folder Created By Me (Folder)
ISSUE #1
Sometimes when I go into the "all programs" section, none of the "launcher" files can be seen, just folders
ISSUE #2
If I drag Program A launcher to the bottom of the list, it makes a copy of the Program A launcher and randomly the "Games" folder in the middle, will disappear. Maybe this is because Windows does not want you to put program files below folders?
My initial goal was to be able to make the folders in the "all programs" section appear at the top of the list, which apparently there is no way to do this, if you manually move the folders to the top, upon reboot, Windows automatically puts those folders back at the bottom of the list! I have created a separate post looking for a solution to this, but no responses.
When I turn the "Sort All Programs Menu By Name" setting back on, it fixes the glitches, but then re-orders the items alphabetically again.
The only other information I have to share is the path locations, which I have read about, but am a little confused still.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Contains
Accessories (Folder)
Administrative Tools (Folder - which has files in it)
Games (Folder)
Program A
Program B
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Contains
Accessories (Folder)
Administrative Tools (Folder - NO files in it)
Folder Created By Me (Folder)
Program C
My computer only has one user which is me, should I stick to a specific path location (one of the above two)?
I don't have any customization type programs on my system at the moment, but I have been messing around a little with turning some features on and off, but I don't think anything that would be causing this.
Anyways, if anyone has any information they could share that would be great.
Thank You
