Tidy StartMenu alternative

[mindykoch]

I am looking for a program to neatly organize my bloated start menu
programs.

I have been considering trying Tidy Start Menu from
http://www.tidystartmenu.com/index.shtml but can see before even
starting that the no cost version won't meet my needs.

Does anyone know a freeware, registerware, or requestware utility that
might meet my needs?

(This question was incorrectly asked a few minutes under the heading
"Tidy Start Up Alternative"... sorry for the double post... I asked for
the wrong thing the first time.)

Hi,

What exactly are your needs? You can do this manualy too
by right clicking on the start button and selecting
EXPLORE, then making folders & draging droping the shotcuts where you want
them to be.

Thats gives you freedom to do anything you like....

an addition to the previous...

after you make the categories you like you can even drag and drop the
shotcuts and folders
directly on the start menu by pressing the mouse button and draging and
droping with the mouse button pressed down until you have the shortcut where
you want it to be, then you
release the mouse button.

If this is hard for you to understand I can make a small video for you to
see what I mean.

a picture is worth 1000 words, a video is worth 1000 pictures

Thanks guys...

I do know how to do it myself using explore... I guess I was just
looking for a utility that might speed up the process since my start
menu is so bloated.

I rarely actually use my start menu since I use cooltabs to keep my
programs neatly organized and at my fingertips. (not freeware... I
just mention it conversationally since it is what I use.)

Although to be honest... that little video offer that was offered would
be very helpful. It sounds like your suggestions there might make the
process go even faster when I organize it manually.

Thanks for the google link... you guessed right... I am on XP. Good
guess!
