If you want to add or reorganize programs and folders under All Programs, which you see when you click on the Windows Start button, you will first need to log into an account that has administrator privileges then display hidden and system files and folders. Once you've done that, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to the location for the ProgramData folder, which will, typically, be
C:\ProgramData
. Navigate to
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
.
Within this directory you will see the folders and programs that appear
when you view the items within All Programs after you click on
the Windows Start button.
You can then move folders and shortcuts about or right-click and choose New to create a new folder.
Some entries you see under All Programs may be under
C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs
, where Username is the relevant user account,
instead. E.g., if you are logged into the account
Jane, some of entries may be under
C:\Users\Jane\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
. These are entries that appear under All Programs just
for that account, whereas those under
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
apply
to all accounts on the system.
