Default What to do with all the stupid and unnecessary "other/guest" user accounts and directories?

Let me again assure you that all this reg file will do is
make the CURRENT user's Start Menu the only one that the
system will refer to, and therefore, make the Start Menu in
the "All Users" folder redundant.


If that "CURRENT" users is me, ie Admin in "E:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Start Menu"
then that is all I want.

This is ALL it does and the "undo" reg file re-instates the
"All Users" Start Menu.

I have tested both and know that they work.


I trust you.

However, it's only worth using on a system where ONLY one
profile is usually used from day to day, and it is from
this profile you would execute (import) the
SingleStartMenu.reg file (the "undo" file can be imported
from any profile).


I am the only person who ever touches or will touch this
computer, and I automatically log on as Admin.

Because if any other profile is then used, they would find
their Start Menu located in another's folder (and unless
Admin, would be read-only for them).


Irrelevant in this case, I trust.

But if you only ever use one profile, then I can well see
the advantages of having only one location for the Start
Menu.


That's an understatement.

Thanks again. I'll try it soon. (I have a lot of other things to
do right now...)
Will report on success/etc.

Cheers
