Organize Start/All Programs Menu Items

J

Joe Kabanek

How do I go about rearranging the Start/All Programs Menu Items. I would
like to organize like programs into upper-level menus (folders) so that I
get drop downs when I hover on the folder in the All Programs list.

Thanks!

Hi Joe,

This is the wrong forum for this question, but as long as we are here I will
try to help.

This is how you do it in Windows XP:

If your Start menu is in the old Classic Menu mode you can just click Start
then Settings and then TaskBar and Start menu. Click on the Start Menu tab,
select Customize, and then click on the Advanced Button. A window will open
like Windows Explorer and you can create New Folders. For instance, I
created a Graphics Folder and then dragged and dropped all of my Graphics
Program and Folders to that Folder. Now I just go to one place for any of my
Graphics Programs.

If your Start Menu is in the XP mode, then open Windows Explorer and
navigate to this folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Start Menu\Programs

You can make your changes there.

Hope it helps--If you have Vista I don't have a clue how to help you.
