I have been reorganising my "Classic style" Start menu and have come across
what appears to be a bug that is preventing me from moving files.
I am using the default start menu directories:
C:\Users\*My Username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
When I'm moving, sorting, deleting and sorting folders and shortcuts in the
C:\Users directory, everything is fine. However, when I try to move a folder
within the C:\ProgramData directory that contains subfolders, after clicking
"continue" on the two security dialogs that appear, which is annoying but
works ok, I get a third message which says "You need permission to move this
folder", giving the options of "Try again" or Cancel". Clicking try again
simply returns the same error message again and again. This doesn't make
sense as I am an Administrator and have full read/write rights over the
folder. There are no other User Acounts on my machine anyway.
What is interesting is that this error does not occur when moving, renaming
or deleting a folder which is in the ProgramData file but does not contain
subfolders, only on ones that have additional folders within them. It also
does not occur when moving, renaming or deleting a subfolder, as long as it
does not itself contain another subfolder, which is what makes me think this
is a glitch.
Thank you for your attention.
