Alphabetical Start Menu

[ntlworld]

Dear All,
Can any please tell me how to get my start Menu, all Programs to list
alphabetically in Windows XP ?

Tried all I can think of, if I go to c:\document and settings\ all users
etc, the program folder shows all are listed in alphabetical order, bit do
not show when I click start, all programs.

Any help appreciated

Right click on one of the entries in Start - All programs and select
"Sort by name".

Bert,

I have same sort problem. As you suggested I did a right click on one of
the entries in Start - All programs, byt nothing happens -- there' no choice
to select "Sort by name" or anything else. Got any clues?

Enable the Enable Dragging and Dropping Option in your Start menu
properties. Follow these steps:

For Classic Start Menu
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Enable Enable Dragging and Dropping

For New Start Menu
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Click Advanced tab and enable Enable Dragging and Dropping

Ramesh,

Your suggestion worked. I enabled dragging and dropping , which was what I
really wanted to do. The little option box now shows when I right click on
any program in the start program list. Many thanks. You made my day!
