Administrative Tools in Start Menu

[GRoston]

I have had Administrative Tools enabled in my Start Menu for a decade. Until yesterday, I had a Start Menu folder named Accessories (which houses the various MS programs) and Administrative Tools. To me, this seemed somewhat redundant, so I renamed Accessories to MS Windows Programs and I moved Administrative Tools into this folder. Simple!


However, for some unknown reason, my system keeps creating the folder Administrative Tools at the top level of the Start Menu. I have tried deleting this but it keeps coming back. All of this happens while the folder Administrative Tools exists under MS Windows Programs.


Is there a way to stop the folder Administrative Tools from being created without moving said folder to the top level of the Start Menu?


Thanks.

Hello GRoston,

does this Seven Forum's Tutorial Administrative Tools - Add or Remove from Start Menu help solve your issue?

 

[GRoston]

Sadly no - I already know how to enable the appearance of the Administrative Tools stuff. Not sure why it is appearing twice...

If you select "Don't Display this Item" then Administrative Tools will not auto re-create.

 

[GRoston]

True - but it also made the Administrative Tools folder not appear in the folder in which I had placed it/wanted it...

I'm an expert on tweaking the system, but I'm less liberal on this than iko22. These are system functions. You're better off not trying to move them around or rename the folders. Just ignore the ones that don't interest you.
