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!

Yes. Put the originals back, then, do not move the originals, make copies of the desired shortcuts and put them in your custom folder then hide the original folder.
