Hi
I started to organize folders i Start Menu>All programs as I've done in XP
by dragging and dropping related folders into others. Now some of them are
gone. Where does Vista save those short cuts. I've tried in
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
and in
C:\Users\Peter\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\S tart Menu
but can't find the missing folders and programs.

WHERE ARE THEY?

Are you sure you didn't drag them into other Program Groups?

I don't think so.
For example my new Canon MP610 installed like 3-4 folders on the Start Menu.
one of them called Canon Utilities. Perfect, I thought, and dragged and
dropped all other Canon folders into it, but some of them disappeared.

You said, 'I don't think so', that means you are not sure, I would do a
search though the folder groups to make sure.
