Hi Andrea,

I believe that the right way to get the start menu folder for all users on
a Vista machine is to use the Win32 API SHGetKnownFolderPath function.

You may refer to the following link to get more information on the
SHGetKnownFolderPath function.

I have tried to use the SHGetKnownFolderPath to get the start menu folder
for all users. Unfortunately, I haven't worked it out until now. If you
work it out using the SHGetKnownFolderPath, please tell me know.

I will go on the research and will get back to you ASAP. I appreciate your
patience!

Sincerely,
Linda Liu

up response may take approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
