Modifying the Start/Programs Menu

[Ron Dougherty]

When I click Start/Programs, the menu I get is very long,
and I would like to reorganize it- create new subfolders,
move some of the shortcuts into them, delete some of the
shortcuts, and so on. I cannot figure out how to edit the
menu that appears when you choose Start/Programs.

Hi Ron,

You can simply drag-drop the shortcuts. Or, open these folders [in Windows Explorer] and re-arrange the shortcuts as you want:

C:\Documents and Settings\Ramesh\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs

Thank you very much. The piece of the puzzle I was
missing was to look in "All Users", rather than just my
own user section. Thanks again.
