To one and all, I recently got burned with the differences between the Start Menus for Administrator and All Users. I am always Administrator for my system at work, so when I install a program, the item icon or group of icons shows in the Start Menu, as it turns out, for Administrator, when you use explorer. However, if you right click on the Start button, you can either open things up as explore or open all users.
As I found out several weeks ago, unlike Win98 which I was used to with this matter, the two were very much NOT the same, but at that time I did not realize this. So I ended up with a royal mess when I decided to do some maintenance of the whole Start Menu structure. I ended up moving, by BIG mistake, stuff from the All Users area to the Administrator area, and lost vital shortcuts. As I said, I did not realize at the time the difference, and have since learned how to manually keep them in sync. BUT, is there any program or utility or system operation that will let the two Start Menus be in complete sync, so there is never any difference between them - if a program creates a group and icons, or a single icon, in one area, it will be able to be duped exactly in the other area, either automatically or by using some program/operation??? I dont understand why Microsoft did not allow some setting so if a Win2K system is used as a standalone workstation, the Administrator and All User settings would not always be the same - is there some setting that can do just this, that I am not aware of????
