Very Strange Crossover in Menus

[CWBillow]

I have a folder in the All Users Programs folder (Windows 7 64-bit) named StartMon. I set up a virtual menu to this folder in TLB. Then, within that menu, I set up a link (virtual menu) to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" and one to "C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" -- one to the All Users startup folder, and one to my personal startup folder.

If I open either / both of these by right-clicking and selecting "Open" they show up properly, with all the right links and shortcuts. But if I just "point" at them, when they open up, they both actually open to the right path seemingly, but they *both* show the items in the "C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup" folder instead of in each one separately.

What the heck???

TLB shows the items from both All Users and user profile folders for the Start Menu.

I'm not sure I understand here, Yuri: If I set up a virtual menu to "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu", TLB will add in everything in "C:\Users\CWBillow\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" automatically?

Why would it do that? What if I don't want both folders combined?

Not add, just shows the shortcuts from both folders in one menu. Exactly the same way as the Windows Start menu does.

Yuri, yea, I get that it is a replica of the startup folder on the start menu. What it isn't though is a virtual folder the way it is selected and set up. What that does is make it difficult to determine which folder the items actually belong in.

Isn't there a way to have the combined folder as an option, and the separate folders by default so that they will copy the virtualization properties that other folders use -- creating the virtual folder from exactly what is selected?

OK, I'll add the option.

Great. Thanks Yuri.
