Broken Start Menu

[DrMorelos]

I was hoping someone would read this and be able to help me out. Here goes:

Ever since I installed CyberLink Power Cinema 3.0 I've had this program group in my Start Menu that won't go away:

It is in the path for the Start Menu of "All Users." When I hunt it down and try to delete it, I get the following information:

Any ideas? I can't stand having extra crap in that part of the Start Menu. As you can see, I have them organized in a way that's more intuitive for me.

Thanks much,

START > RUN > CMD
CD to your directory.

Use: DIR /X /A to see the SHORT FILE NAMES of the files and directories there.

use:

RMDIR [/Q] [drive:]path
RD [/Q] [drive:]path

/S Removes all directories and files in the specified directory
in addition to the directory itself. Used to remove a directory
tree.

/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to remove a directory tree with /S

Example:

RMDIR /Q m:\docume~1\alluse~1\startm~1\progra~1\cyberl~1
RD /Q m:\docume~1\alluse~1\startm~1\progra~1\cyberl~1

Solved.

Word; so is that some kind of malfunction on the part of LFN?

Thanks much!

Welcome ;)

Sometimes Windows Explorer has problems with long file names, especially those with special characters in (or at the end of) the filename or path.
