Post subject:  how get to the start menu folders
Okay, I'm sure that this question has been previously answered on the forum, but the search function is frustrating my efforts to find it. (When I search for any terms related to this question, it tells me that it refuses to do my search because my search terms are too common, even if I put related terms together in quotations.)

My question is pretty simple. In Windows 7 I could very easily get to both the individual user's start menu folder and the All Users start menu folder by simply right clicking on "All Programs" in the start menu. How do I do that now with Windows 8.1 and the Classic Shell start menu?

to get to the users, right click all programs.. just as it was in 7
to get to all users. right click the button itself and select 'open all users'

It should work the exact same way. Right-click on the start button or All Programs will give you access to the user and all users folders.
This only works if "Enable Windows Explorer" is checked in the Context Menu tab in the settings. It should be enabled by default.

I just discovered the problem. Somehow an IObit product, Start Menu 8, got installed on here, and it was overriding the Classic Shell start menu. This was causing other problems as well, and I have no idea how that program got installed in the first place. I have IObit's System Care installed, but I sure never intentionally installed any start menu program.
