Help Program files Please

My start menu is past full. Can I move all my game program files into 1 large
program folder? And if I can move them, is that doing it through "" My
Computer, Local Disk (C), Program Files, make a new folder and name it, then
add all my game program files to it"", I have over 100 different games. Any
help I would be very thankful.

Find the Start Menu folder and then create extra games folders maybe re
genre, then move the appropriate games icons etc into the respective
folders..

It isn't your Program Files folder that needs to be organized. It's the
folders that make up your Start menu.

Right click on your Start button and select Explore from the menu.
Right click on your Start button again except this time select Explore All
Users
from the menu.
You should now have these two folders opened (substituting the name of your
user
account where it says YourAccount).

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
C:\Documents and Settings\YourAccount\Start Menu

Your start menu is constructed by combining the content of these two
folders.
You can organize them just as you would any folder on your computer. Create
subfolders in the Programs folder to group different types of games.
You can move program shortcuts into any folder you want.

Take a look at the second part of this article, Reorganize the folders in
your
All Programs menu, for more information.

Customize your Start menu

Good luck
