Most of the non-default progam folders in my Start Menu are empty...

[Florio]

Hi there. I actually raised this topic a few months ago, but didn't manage to get a solution. I have tried all the things suggested by people on various sites, including this one. Let me just say that I haven't had a virus, but I DO use CCleaner and Advanced System Care.

When I click on Start -> All Programs, I can see that many (but not all) of my program folders are empty. I first noticed this quite a while ago, but never bothered doing anything about it because I have icons for the programs I regularly use on my desktop. But I would like to fix this problem now if possible. All of the programs involved function without problems.

I should also point out that I cannot delete the empty folders, even if I (theoretically) have administrator privileges. This seems to suggest that the issue is linked to security.

Advanced System Care causes more problems than one could post in a week.

A bigger problem is no one knows what A.S.C. moves, removes, deletes or adds so it is almost impossible to repair with out a Clean Install. I know you have had this problem before and I gave the same answer then as I do now.
And yet you have A.S.C. with the same problem.

I have reached this opinion by reading many post with people having problems.

Have a nice day.

Hello Layback Bear, and thanks for your reply.

I remember that you replied to my earlier post, and that you are not a fan of ASC; I did actually remove it at that time.

I don't really want to enter into a discussion concerning ASC, because everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. Many people do use it, and there is nothing to prove that it is the cause of my problem.

I am actually more inclined to think the empty folders have something to do with the security preferences, since I cannot delete them nor change their settings so as to gain administrator privileges (which I should already have).
