Start menu items "start in" properties changes. Can't runas.

[Anon]

A lot of accessories and administrator mmc's have been changing. On the
start menu entry properties, the "start in" field has changed to
%homedrive%%homepath% instead of the path to the .exe, so the current
directory is now wrong and I can't runas anymore. It gives and error saying
"directory name is invalid". The ms knowledgebase 832434 says to just
manually change it back, but there are to many changed items that
continuosly change to do this.

I'm using roaming profiles and it seems to change the "start in" field when
I log into one computer, then log into another different computer.

How do I keep these start menu items from changing their "start in" path.

Hi,

Start/run cmd

Run PATH

Copy/paste the results into a reply (right-click the header bar and click
edit/select all/edit/copy to gather the contents of the command window).
