I have a well-organized start menu in Windows 8.1. When I installed Dropbox, I moved the automatically-created program group from the start menu's top level into one of the sub-folders, according to the nature of the program. However, Dropbox periodically creates a new program group at the top level, replacing the items I moved. It's done this a few dozen times now, and I'm dog tired of it. This is the kind of thing an application should never do. As an alternative to uninstalling Dropbox, how can I make it stop?
The thing is, I have lots of programs that get updated all the time, but Dropbox is the only one that does the behavior I described.
I appreciate you being helpful, but I'd have preferred to keep this where it was and create a new feature request myself, in case someone else had a solution at some point.
Between this kind of obnoxious behaviour and the 3 device limt on free accounts. I'm already starting to phase dropbox out on all my devices. If I hadn't left my previous place of employment, I would have regreted pushing for adopting dropbox over google drive.
