Vista issues

[ryanbatc]

What I want to do is organize my start menu, as far as folders go. In XP, I had 5 basic folder, like Apps, Accessories, Multimedia, Startup and something else.

I tried accessing these in the windows explorer, so I could change them around. But I get this access denied. Does anyone know how I can make new folders in my start menu?

Thanks



All I want is five basic folders, so my initial start menu is NOT cluttered.... pretty much the opposite of this:

Login as the administrator.

I am the admin....



UAC is off

You may have an "administer" account, but it's not the actual administer account with root access. You need to actually log in as the administrator to gain full access. I didn't think organizing your start menu would be an issue there though...

Well I installed the OS lol....

how do I login as admin then?

When I installed it I only created ONE password, then later on, deleted the password.

Do a start run and open a cmd then run net user <your username> and see what groups are assigned to you.

Here's what mine looks like and I have no problem.
