    A while ago I read on a newsletter about HOW you can ORGANIZE all the applications listed on the "All Programs" by grouping related applications into folders labeled like GAMES, UTILITIES, GRAPHICS, etc...)..

    I tried to right click on a blank space inside the "All Programs" list to open a "new folder" to no avail. It seems that you can not do it inside the "All Programs" list and I don't know where are the settings to do this.

    My "All Programs" list is already 3 full columns and counting ! the next column will go OUT of the frame of my laptop !!

    If anyone of you guys have some info about HOW to do this, please post a reply.

    The way i do this is by right clicking the start button and choosing Explore and Explore All Users. and manipulating it there.

    mazaprin--Or you can create a New folder on your Desktop, rename to what you want and drag it to the Start button, which will open the Start Menu, drag it to the All Programs arrow, which will open the All Programs list and then drag it where you want on the Programs list. Then you can drag the individual programs into the folder. And you can do this as many times as Folder categories you wish to create.
