I'm trying to customize the start menu. I knew how to do this in XP. I
don't know how this works in Vista. The "all users" group seeems to be gone.

The new location in Vista for the all users start menu is:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu. You can click Start and
then right click All Programs and select Explore All Users and get to
the same location.

The user specific start menu folder is in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.

Hi,

Also please note that Vista don't change menu immediately so you need
loggoff and logon to see the changes.

P.S. I use Vista Start Menu program instant of system menu.

I'm mystified by the Vista Start Menu and All Programs list. I created a
folder within All Programs called Programs, where I've consolidated most
programs and reduce clutter. When I right click and select Explore All Users,
the list I see looks correct. However, when I click the Start button, the
extra Programs group is missing, as are several of folders I see in the
Explore All Users list. I'm confused.
