Hi

Windows XP Pro SP1 fully patched

The start menu displays a list of my 8 most used programs. This is very
useful to me, but can anyone tell me if there is a log kept somewhere that
complies the number of times each program is run? My reasons are to tweak
this log. If I buy a new program - for instance replace frontpage with
Dreamweaver, I would want to get FP off the start menu asap, not wait for a
few months until the auto count drops behind other programs.

Regards
Nick

Yes, there is, but it's stored in the registry and not in user editable
form.

Just use the 'remove item from the list' feature.
