    Windows 10 All Apps Folder Location

    A few weeks ago I found a link on the Internet that showed the location of the Start/All Apps folder in File Explorer in Windows 10. I was able to move programs into folders I had created to to shrink down the size of the listing under All Apps. I decided I had more work to do, but cannot find the location again. Anyone know where to find this? If so, I swear this time I will make an entry for it in OneNote!

    I have tried the Windows 10 Forum, but that hasn't yielded anything useful.

    Thanks

    Thanks Train. That was one of the results I did on searches also. When I try what they say though, I kinda get difference between the start menu & what file explorer shows. Maybe I am missing something or just making too much of a thing about this. See the two attached files, hopefully they are clear enough to read.

    Thanks again. I guess I just need to play with this a bit. I tried right clicking on an app that doesn't appear in the file explorer location I had open. It took me to another folder where some of the apps are. Very confusing. I'll have to see if maybe opening 2 instances of file explorer will allow me to swap between them and make changes.

    Good luck.

    I would print that page out, from the first link, and read it a BUNCH of times until I understood it before attempting.
