Doing enough research, I found the answer ... Right-click on Start Menu,
Properties, Customize, check or uncheck boxes as needed or not needed. In
this case, I unchecked "Display Administrative Tools" ... now the one I
created in a different part of the Start menu appears with all the included
shortcuts. Seems MS in their wisdom prefers certain folders to be not
tampered with. At least they give a way of getting around their
safeguards. --- Harold
Hello again (Windows XP and Compaq computer), A bit of a problem with a
folder in my Start menu that won't allow for deleting. Here's what
happened: I have this folder called "Administrative Tools" (in the second
level of the Start menu) ... and I created a folder in another part of the
menu (first level) with the same name, and moved all the files from the
first folder into the second folder (the one I made). Maybe I should have
just moved the folder; now it's too late.
Now the one in the second level (which is empty) will not allow for
deleting. I get the following message: "Administrative Tools is a Window
system folder and is required for Windows to run properly. It cannot be
deleted." First thing I did was moved it onto the desktop (that was
permitted). Again, it could not be deleted. And now only the new folder
was in the Start menu (looking good there)
Then I opened the registry, and used RegSeeker to find all references to
"Desktop\Administrative Tools" (sans quotes) and deleted each reference.
It still would not delete but after rebooting, it did delete (everything
looked good) ... but now, again, it appears in the second level of the
Start menu. What do I do now? Any moves or programs that can fix this? ---
Harold
