Deleting directories from start menu in Vista

[d032sh]

Hi guys,

I have a problem which is driving me crazy. I don't seem to be able to delete a fair number of directories from my Start Menu. I'm using Vista (x64, Business) and logged in as Administrator. I use the 'Classic' Start Menu and when I go to the Advanced section to open the directory listing in an instance of Explorer then it refuses to let me delete a number of directories I have with a "You need permission to perform this action" error. It does the same if I right click on them in the start menu itself and choose delete. I can however open a cmd.exe window and remove them manually, it's just slow and tedious.

Any ideas? I have UAC turned off.

Are you logged on as the *real* administrator or do you have your account just configured as an administrator?

Also, I'd leave UAC on, once you activate the real admin account, it'll just prompt you for permission.
