I discovered this in v4.05 but I think it has been an issue for a while now:

There are actually two admin tools folders - one per user and one that is common for all users. By default the start menu shows the user folder, which in your case is empty. If you want to see the shared one, change the type of the item to "Custom" and put this in the link property "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools".

In a future version I may change it to use the common folder by default, since there are more tools there.

There are 2 folders for Administrative Tools - per user and All Users. The per user one is at %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools and All users one at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools. The Start Menu should show you the combined view of these two if it's expanded as a menu, but if you right click and choose Open, it will open the per-user folder. You must right click and choose Open all users to see the correct folder in Explorer.

Or as Ivo said, go to Customize Start Menu tab and double click the Admin Tools icon. Change the target in the Link field to the All Users folder.

Thank you Ivo and GauravK,

I did not realize that was an intended option. Obviously, an oversight on my part. Thanks for setting me straight!


Best regards,
