I have a Windows 7 workstation which I had been using earlier as a different user. When I logon as a new user I don’t see the “Administrative Tools”. So I thought maybe the admin tools I enabled in control panel >> add windows features may be a user profile thing…..ummm…no it wasn’t; I checked…admin tools were all enabled. I found out a quick solution: Right click on any empty area in the Start menu and click “Properties”. Click the “Customize” button under the start menu tab. Scroll down to “System Administrative Tools” Check the radio button “Display on the all Programs menu…” Click OK. There you have it!
