Organising Start/Prorams Menu

D

David Quinn

I have a lot of programs on my Start/Programs menu. In
W98 I could go into the Windows/Start folder in Explorer,
create folders and tuck the programs into them. In XP
when I look in the Start/Programs folder not all the
programs seem to be in there. (This tendency to hide
things is endemic in XP). I have marked hidden folders to
be displayed. Is there any way to organise program short
cuts on the menu. Help is no help on the issue.

Hi David,

It's the same thing, they're just in a new location, look under:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start Menu\Programs

Thanks Rick. My mistake was not going to the All Users
path, but just looking at the path under my user name.
They are all in the All Users path. Thanks again.

Dave
