Vista showing two copies of the same folder

Asser

When I tried to tidy a bit in my Start menu I rearranged a few folders. I
i.e. moved something into the "Games" folder and into the "Maintenance
folder". Now I see two copies of these folders. One in my local language and
one in english. (Spil<=>Games), (Vedligeholdelse<=>Maintenance) When I open
the folders, they show the exact same content (not if I open Games and
compare to Maintenance, obviously). When I rightclick and select "open" I
only see one copy of the folder in my local language, and not in english as
it does in the start menu.

I find this a bit anoying, anyone knows how to fix this?

Could be 2 shortcuts in your user files.
when you right click the "start button" there is an option to "open" and
another to "open all users". Check that the culprit file/folder is not in
both, if so delete the one from just "open".

both folders (Games and Maintenance) are located in
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

there are none of those folders in
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wind ows\Start Menu\Programs
