Alphabetically Sorting The Frequently Used Programs in XP-style StartMenu

[Ben Kennish]

Well I think the subject says it all really.

Is it possible to get XP to show the list of frequently used programs
(in an XP-style start menu) alphabetically sorted?

If not, anyone know of a third party program to do this?

Cheers,

The quick launch toolbar would do this better. You can arrange anyway you
like. You can also choose any Program in the All Programs list and right
click, choose Pin to Start Menu. You could make your own Folder of frequently
used and add it to the Start Menu.

But I want Windows XP to automatically work out which programs I use
frequently and to use this (but in alphabetical order.)

Surely this must be possible? I don't understand Microsoft's logic by
choosing to sort the list of frequently used programs by frequency of
use ... it just makes it a lot harder to locate programs within the list
(particularly when the list size is increased... mine is set to show 27
programs.

Cheers,

Ben
