Organising Windows 7 start menu - access denied

mrochester · 17 May 2009 at 12:22

Hi all,

I'm trying to organise my Windows start menu by creating new folders. I've done this, but when I try to drag and drop programs into this folder, I get a message telling me that access is denied. I've checked permissions and I have full control of the folder. I don't get this message in Vista, where I organise my start menu in exactly the same way. Can anyone tell me how to get past this access denied message to move my things?

Thanks,

Michael.

Try disabling UAC while doing it? Or make sure you're logged on as administrator too?

Still access is denied.

I've done the same thing on windows 7, it just used to ask me for permission when creating a new folder. Did not even need to disable UAC, not quite sure why it's working for you. This was on the RC by the way, what build you using?

I'm using the RC too.
