SYMPTOMS
When you are using Microsoft Plus! for Kids Protect It!, programs (.exe,
.bat, and .com files) that have custom icons may appear on the first level
of the Start menu.
For example, you may specifically add (by using the More button) a program
to the Allowed Programs list for a family member. Because the program has
a custom icon, it did not previously appear on the Start menu.
After installing Protect It!, the .exe file icons are grouped together
with the other icons on the Start menu. This behavior occurs only with
programs with custom icons, not with those with a default MS-DOS icon.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- Log in as the appropriate family member.
- Use the right mouse button to click the Start button, and then
click Open.
- Double-click the Programs folder to open it.
- Delete the icons that you do not want to appear on the Start menu.
Or, you can edit user Start menu profiles for each user in the
C:\Windows\Profiles\<username>\Start Menu folder.
