This question has been asked many times but I haven't found clear answer. Is it possible to completely hide or remove "Administrative Tools" from All Programs? Classic Shell is a great program but this bug or feature makes it useless because Administrative Tools just cannot be there. It's a requirement by our customer. Thanks. |

You can hide or delete the Administrative Tools folder and then it won't appear in All Programs. |

Administrative Tools can't be deleted from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs....then it won't be available at Control Panel. There are still some users who wants to start Administrative Tools by using Control Panel. |

Note that only hiding the main Administrative Tools folders is enough to hide it from the Start Menu. You shouldn't set the hidden attribute on the shortcuts inside it. |

There are two administrative folders - one for the current user and one shared. You need to hide both. |

One is in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and the other in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs |
