I am trying to put the uniface folders inside the folder for our app. I have two pictures from two windows machines installed the same way with the same installer but no way of sensibly adding them to this forum, windows 2008 does what I want, Start->Profit->Uniface9.6. Windows 10, Start->Profit, no Uniface9.6 subfolder, just all the icons mixed in with the ones for our app. Having identified this is a windows problem not a uniface one, I'v egone looking for it on the web and found this from a Microsoft MVP
As Arijit_Dey has pointed out, the Start Menu does not appear to support the display of subfolders or identification of items with the same name under subdirectories of Start Menu\Programs. This is the same as the Start Screen of Windows 8.1. If this is functionality that you need in your environment, I would suggest providing feedback to the development teams via the Windows Feedback app. Brandon
Here's the example from the MS Forum, these two readme.txt files are in two different subfolders of Product XYZ, windows is displaying the shortcuts at the same level in the start menu. Only in my environment, what should be a simple menu with 4 items in it, is now a complex one with 46 items, with things like 'monitor' displayed three times, (Also 'IDE' etc.) Some things, which presumably don't exist in one of the versions only show up twice. They are displayed in alphabetical order, so there are not even sane groupings of the information. I was trying to do this so my users, who are not technical, don't ask what this Uniface folder is all about. I suppose the 'solution' per se is to use the folder structure Uli mentioned, and just delete all the uniface installed shortcuts, our clients don't need them anyway. Iain
