Hi,

I have been customising my machine quite extensively lately, to the extent where all of my programs reside directly on the Start menu and in the quick launch toolbar. As the Programs folder is now empty, I want to remove it or at least hide it from the menu.

I have activated all group policy settings that have to do with program folders in the start menu, through gpedit.msc as well as regedit. I have tried setting the folder as 'hidden', but it still shows up! Any tips?
