Default Re: Deleted "programs" folder from vista start menu, help please
I had the same problem on windows vista ultimae.
I created a second Administrator account from the control panel and copy the programs folder from there.
For those wondering how to remove the "programs" folder from Windows vista start menu is as follows:
1. Go into the properties of the start menu (right click on task bar and then properties)
2. Start menu tab - Customize
3. Untick the "default programs"
I did the same thing and deleted the folder thinking that it was a duplicate
let me know if this works out for you...
WORKS. Curse you download.com programs that enable this somehow.
