Right click on the Start Orb. Pick Open All Users. Add your folders and
shortcuts. You will get a few warnings and UAC prompts.
 
Thank you for your reply.

Worked fine on the 2nd vista comp, with UAC inabled.

On the first UAC is disabled. Obviously not completetly.

Is there any way to completely disable UAC?

==================

2nd: How can I add folders to the "All Users" menu using a VBA Wscript?

I will be configuring dozens of vista computers soon and we want to
standardize the start menus.

Vista and the programs in it like Explorer are designed to work with UAC on.
As you have found out some things are easier with UAC on. I'm not a
programmer but I'm guessing you'd have to create a manifest for the script
to request elevation then deal with the resulting UAC prompt. The easier way
would be to configure one computer and deploy an image to the rest. With WIM
images you can deploy any given Vista setup to computers with different
hardware. The Vista installation DVD uses this method.

Run gpedit.msc. Does it run and open the group policies? If yes, you can
change one value to stop the UAC elevate to admin prompt and leave
everything else the same
 
Which value? 'Tis many to choose, don't ya know.
