question about start menu program folder

Guest

I'm trying to clean up my start menu. My programs are start menu programs
are split between two places: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start
Menu\Programs and C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs
(where username is, of course, my own username. This causes problem when I'm
trying to consolidate everything in my start menu into fewer folders. I'm
wondering if there would be any problems if I just consolidated these two
folders (i.e., copied everything from one into the other). If I do this,
does it matter which folder I use to copy everything into?

By the way, I am the only user on my computer so there is no issue about
messing up different user accounts.

Thanks

No it doesn't matter since you are the only user. The rule is simple. If
it's in all users it appears for everyone. If on <Username> it appears only
when that user is logged in. Note, there is a second user account, the
built in Administrator account.

Try Tidy Start Menu, a stripped down shareware. It'll clean up all of the
folders and links into categorized folders.
