In explorer, Under my c drive>janis> start menu> start -up>administrative tool.
the administative folder is empty. However I cannot delete it because it is
a windows program file. If these functions exist in the control panel why
does the computer recognize the folder as a program file?? Actually I found
two other folders with the same properties. Is there a way to show them the
door?
 
Hi Janis,

It's not empty, it contains system files and you are not set to see hidden
and system folders/files. Go to the Control Panel/Folder Options, and on the
View tab, set the options so you can see hidden and system files.
Specifically:

Enable (check) "Display the contents of system folders"
Enable (check) "Show hidden files and folders"
Disable (uncheck): "Hide protected operating system files (recommended)"

I also recommend that you disable (uncheck) "hide extensions for known file
types".
