Moving folders and files

Post by *CWBillow »

More often than not, when I install a program in Windows 10, it puts the start menu shortcuts in "C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" instead of C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

That part is OK. T's the moving it to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs that causes an issue.

If I have the original position on one side, and the destination on the other, and execute "Move", It doesn't and gives me an error. But then, if I open the origin's folder, and the destination's folder, and just move the contents, it works fine.

Is there a tweak or setting I need to adjust to just get the Move function to ask if I want to overwrite, and then do it?

Regards,
Chuck Billow

C:\ProgramData is protected by Windows user account control (UAC). TC should ask for higher rights when you try to move to that folder. You should try copying (F5) if moving fails.
