Items above the start button

[The Old Fart]

Immediately above the start button is the list of programs that are one
the PC. Even after you tell it to sort the names into alphabetical
order there is always several that always below & aren't in
alphabetical order like Windows Media Player & Adobe Photo shop
Elements. Why does this happen? Can these names me altered or moved?

Thanks in Advance

Those are just the programs that you use more often. I'm not sure
exactly about the "more often" part, but they are mostly stuff I use
frequently.
If you mouse button 2 on them you get a list of options, including
"remove from this list".

I tend to think of mouse button 2 (right in my case) as "What can I do
with this?", and it usually offers what you want.

Sorry if I didn't phrase question correctly but I was referring to list
under programs.

In that case I'll have a second "go". The sort that you apply to the
list of programs is a one-off. New programs get added to the end of the
list, out of sequence. You just have to sort it again.

Re sorting will move some items but some programs like those I mentioned
still remain below the sorted list.

My list is sorted folders first (in alphabetic order) then individual
programs in the "root" (in alphabetic order).

Are you confusing individual program entries with folders?
