Start Menu (Virtual merge of All users with the user maps)

[akruijff]

Hi,

Afther the installation of Windows all the items of the 'all programs'
menu are joined visualized, but afther I right click on 'explore all
users' some items are shown separately. I have searched the web for a
way to get this feature back, but all I found where suggestion to
fysicaly copy the files to the 'all programs' folder. Does anyone here
know a alternative?

What?

The way the start menu works is that it 'merges' the contents of

\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu

and

\Documents and Settings\CurrentLoggedInUser\Start Menu

I am unsure what it is you are trying to accomplish - but you can always
look in those directories to see who has what and manually copy items from a
local account to the universal (all users) account so all users of the
computer can see said shortcut (does not mean they can run it - just means
they can see the shortcut.)
