PCWorks: Re: Folder that won't go away.

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
