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

You could just copy all the shortcuts from the "All Users" start menu into your
profile's Start Menu.

Transferring all the shortcuts across, like, all the links in Accessories\Games to
the corresponding Accessories\Games folder in your profile's Start Menu. -

Then delete all the shortcuts and sub-folders in the "All Users" menu and effectively
you WILL only have to worry about ONE Start Menu.

All you will have to worry about is when installing a new program - usually they
place their shortcuts into the "All Users" menu.

Alternatively - do it the other way round and transfer all the shortcuts to the "All
Users" menu and just use that.


If you download and install the small [free] microsoft program called TweakUI.exe -
there is a feature in there that enables you to change the location of "special"
folders (such as your Start Menu) so you could make it the same as the "All Users"
menu and just use that.


Download the small TweakUI installation file from the link below :

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...ertoySetup.exe

Double-click on the [downloaded] setup file and after it's installed type :
TweakUI.exe into the "Run" BOX or make a shortcut to :
c:\windows\system32\tweakui.exe and start it from that.

After you start TweakUI.exe, go to the item called "My Computer" "Special Folders"
then choose "Start Menu" from the drop-down list and click on the "Change Location"
button.


There's loads of other groovy stuff you can "Tweak" with it as well - hours of fun!
