I need to rearrange my program files in the Program Folder

[Frank Hill]

My installed programs are so many that when I click on
Prgrams from the Start menu, they do not all appear on the
screen. I wanted to make new folders in the programs
folder and move different program folders/files into them.
Like create a Utility Folder and put all utility programs
in there. I tried this once and realize that you can't
simply move program folders around due to the registry,
pointing, etc. Does Microsoft or someone have a utility
that will lte me do this. I searched the web and saw a DOS
program called "Junction" that seemed to do it but it had
an example of moving all the porgrams to a different
drive. Any information would be helpful. You would think
by 2004 it would be just as easy to rearrange program
folders as any other folder!

Thanks

You might try;
TaskBar|Properties|Advanced and check or uncheck as desired "Scroll the
Programs menu"

Are you talking about organizing the start menu programs and groups, like
this for example?

If so, just use the Taskbar & Start Menu option from the Start-Settings
menu. You'll have to select the Advanced button on the Advanced tab.
