I use the keyboard much more than the mouse, and I customize my start menu
(classic menu style) by goint into Windows Explorer and putting folders under
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu. When I want to start MS Word,
I use the keyboard and do: (windows button), down arrow, down arrow, left
arrow, then enter. I know the exact sequence for every program I use daily.
I just had a major malfunction and had to have my guru reinstall my
operating system, the I had to reinstall all of my programs. When he saw what
I was doing, he said that "creating folders in the Start Menu structure can
confuse my registry and slow down my system".
I told him I wouldn't do it this time, but I'm struggling with finding all
my programs that I traditionally open without taking my hands from the
keyboard.
Can anyone verify that changing/adding folders to the C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Start Menu either IS or ISN'T damaging to the fast
functionality of my system?
My theory is that Microsoft wouldn't make is to easy to do if it were
detrimental, but I just got laughed at with that statement. All feedback
welcome.
