Program folder in Start menu for ALL USERS

[Gudmund Liebach Nielsen]

I wonder if somebody knows how to navigate to the folder PROGRAMS for ALL
USERS?

I want to open this folder and see all the folders for installed programs.

Can somebody help?

Sure, but it's not obvious what you're looking for:

If you want to see which programs are installed:
Orb -> Control panel -> Programs and features
is the place.

If you want to see what directories the programs have installed into:
C:\Program Files\ (or C:\Program files (x86)\)

If you want to see the start menu contents:
C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
C:\Users\your name\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

If you want to see what data directories they use there are several places.

I want to see the folder "START MENU" for ALL users.
I cannot navigate to C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu, as I
don't have "All Users" under Users. Under Users I only have the names for
the users of my PC and NOT "All Users". I don't know why???

Hej Gudmund

The Start menu fir All Users is located at:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

"C:\Users\All Users" isn't actually a real directory; it's just a Symlink to
C:\ProgramData.

Note that C:\ProgramData is normally a Hidden directory. To view it in
Explorer, you'll need to turn on the "Show hidden files and folders" option
in Folder Options.

Hope it helps.

Vi ses,

Hmmm... Don't know either. Anyway it's a shortcut to

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu

Do you have that?

 

[Gudmund Liebach Nielsen]

Yes I have that: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu, so the problem
is solved. I don't know why "Programdata" is a hidden directory, but anyway
I can set "show hidden files" on so I can see it.

Thank you.

actually, it is much faster and easy doing a mouse right click in the start
orb and choosing "explore/open all users
