Extra "Programs" subfolder in start menu

I am using vista business.

In my start menu, I have the normal "Programs" at the bottom of the start
menu. When I click this "Program" menu, a list of programs that I installed
are shown. However, within this list of programs, I have an entry call
"Programs" (I call this as Programs2 from now to to avoid confusion).

Program2 contain exactly the same list of software that I installed as in
Program1.

How can I get rid of this program2 from the Program1 menu?

Thanks in advance.

Man

Re: Extra "Programs" subfolder in start menu

Hi Lamb Chop,

Right click the start orb, choose 'explore all users'. Go to this folder by
double clicking the "programs" folder in the right pane:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

You should see another "programs" (ie: programs2) folder here that you can
delete.
