[WriteLog] "Edit WriteLog.ini" missing from WL Start Menu folder in Win10?

[Steve AI9T]

Jim,, Are you referring to the Writelog developers or Windows 10 LOL!!

Anyway  Windows 10 has only been out a few days so it will take a while 
to get everything as it should be.

Also it's not that big a deal to create a shortcut to the INI file 
anyway. It's not like you have to access it every day either.

I then looked into the WL start menu folder and it was not there. I did a restart of the PC (and a full Shutdown) and still not there. I logged into the Admin account and it was there! It showed "new" next to it. I logged into a different non-Admin account and it's there showing "new" next to it. I log back into the original non-Admin account and it's not there.

> Something else I did that Windows 10 did not like. I deleted "Edit WriteLog.ini" from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\WriteLogV11 from the Admin account. I then verified it was missing in all three accounts. I restarted the PC then put the shortcut back in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\WriteLogV11 manually. When I did that, it crashed File Explorer every time I looked in that folder.
