Start Menu

[Mike Goodson]

I know this is not earth shatteringly important but thought I would ask this
question.

Since the installation of Office 2003 ( and therefore no MS Office shortcut
bar ) I rely on the "Pin to Start Menu" to place my shortcuts. Is there a
way of sorting these alphabetically? I know for items in Programs you can
right-click and "Sort By Name" but that option is not available to items to
"Pin to Start".

No big deal I can always drag them into order myself but it would be helpful
to know (if poss) how to auto sort.

TIA

Mike

Right click the "Start" menu button, choose explore "All Users", Programs
create the new folder there, place the items in the folder , right click
inside the folder and choose Arrange by name.

Just thought I'd note that the correct answer to Mike's question is that for
the *pinned* items area of the start menu, YES, you must arrange them
manually. No other way I know of.

Andre's suggestion does not have anything to do with the pinned items area,
which has no built in functions allowing *any* sort of programatic or
automated manipulation. This was done to stop freeware and spyware programs
from placing themselves on your pinned list without your permission.
