Startup folder not accessable

I am trying to access the All Users/Startup folder to add subfolders but I
keep getting a "folder not accessible" error message. I am the only user on
the computer and of course I have full privileges. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

It's not accessible because it's not a folder. It's a junction point for
compatibility with older software that expects it to be present. In Vista,
"All Users" does not exist. You have your startup folder here:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wind ows\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup

Why do I see only a couple of items under start menu/programs? I am trying
to streamline the menu by putting all of windows' apps (among other things)
in their own folders. How do I do this please?

Thanks... Bob

Hi,

You want this folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
