Administrative Tools - Control Panel Path
Greetings,
I'm having a relatively minor (but annoying) paths issue, after having organized my Start Menu folders.
Firstly, Windows reminded me that it's now a mobile OS, only pretending to be a desktop OS (subfolders don't display).
- If someone has a way to resolve this (without having to use a 3rd party custom shell), that'd be cool, although this isn't the reason I'm making this thread.
Anyway, I noticed that my reorganization broke Control Panel's Administrative Tools link. I had moved all the "Windows" shortcuts into a single folder, to keep things clean. When trying to access Admin Tools, I was getting a "Location is not available" error. Fixed this by placing the Admin Tools shortcuts in the specified folder, following the instructions here: Restore Default Administrative Tools in Windows 10
So, here's the problem: It's not the original default location. The original Start Menu folder was "Windows Administrative Tools", but now it's located at "Administrative Tools" instead, at the top of the list.
Actual location:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
Where I'd like to have it:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows\Windows Administrative Tools
Or:
C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Windows\Administrative Tools
However, when I move the shortcuts to either of the preferred locations, I end up with an empty Admin Tools, when accessed via Control Panel.
Hope that makes sense. Any way I can fix this?
Thanks in advance!
