Start Menu forgets to keep itself in order

When you choose "Sort by Name" the Start menu should remember where everything is. If this is not the case the registry key has changed and is causing an issue. To fix this issue place the start menu in order then go to Start > Run and type Regedit and press return.

Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer and select the Menu Order key in the left hand panel. Choose Edit > permissions and click on advanced. Here you can untick "inherit from parent the permission entries" box. A pop up will appear click copy and ok and return to the first screen.

Select your Username from the list and clear the Allow tick box next to Full Control and click apply. Repeat this for the administrator and click OK and close the Registry editor. The Start Menu should now stay in order.
