Moving/deleting the Tools and Utilities Start Menu folder

Thread needs solution

I'm in the process of cleaning up my Start Menu, and I'm realizing that in order to access several features (System Report, Startup Recovery Manager, DriveCleanser, and a few others), ATI2015 opens the Acronis Tools and Utilities folder from the start menu.

Am I able to get those shortcuts out of my start menu without making it impossible to access them from within ATI2015?

No and Yes--depending upon what is acceptable.
If you wish to access the expanded tools men solely from your desktop or desktop folder,
then yes, you can open the Acronis tools menu/expanded tools
and right click/drag explorer address bar link onto your desktop as a MOVE function. This action moves the tools from the Start menu.

but understand the Acronis tools menu/expanded toos is no longer functional from the tools menu,
and only functional from the Dektop shortcuts.

I performed the Move function for testing and then use the Right Click Move Undo opton.

I am not clear as to how this would benefit you. The main access to these is from within the Aconis tools menu so access via the Start menu is optional and access from the start menu not needed for routine use.

Apologies for not being more clear, then!

The "expanded tools" folder that you're referring to is, as far as I can tell, actually a folder in Start Menu-->Programs-->Acronis. I'm trying to get rid of extraneous programs in my start menu, and I'm hoping that there's a way to get rid of the Tools shortcuts for ATI. However, I'm concerned that if I delete them from my start menu, I'll also be unable to access them from the program itself.

Also, since ATI just opens the start menu folder when I try to open "more tools," it looks like that functionality would break if I tried to move the shortcuts into other start menu folders (I'm trying to put everything in folders like "games," "tools," "office," and the like, and would prefer not to have an Acronis folder in Start if I can help it).

Is there a way to get the shortcuts out of my start menu but still open the tools from within ATI?

Well, I solved my problem. If anyone else is interested, if you make the "Tools and Utilities" folder in the Start Menu hidden, it won't be shown in the Start Menu, but ATI will still be able to open it when you click "more tools."
