You cannot find the shortcut for the Private Character Editor on the Start menu on a Windows Vista-based computer

SYMPTOMS

On a Windows Vista-based computer, you cannot find the shortcut for the Private Character Editor (Eudcedit.exe) on the Start menu. However, you can still start the Private Character Editor by using the following command:
%systemroot%\system32\eudcedit.exe
Note The shortcut for the Private Character Editor appears on the Start menu in the East Asian language versions of Microsoft Windows XP, of Microsoft Windows 2000, and of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
