With 2 commands/it is possible to move all Microsoft Office 2016 links to the "Microsoft Office 2016" group in the Start Menu:
md "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office 2016"
move "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\*2016.lnk" "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office 2016\"
Execute the commands with elevated (Administrator) privileges and the Start Menu is clean and tidy and all Office shortcuts are where they belong:
Thanks, I thought I was losing it!
ReplyDeleteTried using the OCT under the post install section and adding these very same commands. Didn't work though. Had to manually to do after the fact.
ReplyDeleteAwesome fix! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThey just did an update to Windows 10, they scattered the shortcuts to their original locations - and now this doesn't work anymore!
ReplyDeleteI figured out why - they removed "*.2016" from the names. You can move things manually, go to:
DeleteC:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
And move the shortcuts into a folder you want.
