Hi Guys!

When I check my administrative tools, it's completely empty. Why is that? I've been using nLite and I probably removed something by mistake which caused this, it's just that I don't have a clue of what that is. Can somebody help me out here?

Sorry if I posted in the wrong place, but I wasn't 100% sure that nLite was the one that caused this.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you've removed all the shortcuts from the ...\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools folder. Or the folder itself.

Of course, that was it! :blushing:

I must have written that in my cleanup.cmd by mistake. I'm sorry to have troubled your minds. Thanks anyway!

I found out some time ago that in Microsofts brilliant minds, the Administrative Tools folder is located in All Users even though it is recommended that All Users do not have Administrative Privileges. Even moving the folder from %allusersprofile% to %userprofile% breaks the shortcuts.
