    I have to many applications loaded for All Programs in the Start Menu. Is there any way to manage this large list other than just deleting some? :)

    In Windows Explorer, go to C:\Documents and Settings\ "YourUserName "\Start menu\Programs and create a new folder, e.g. "Rarely Used ".

    Drag the shortcuts to programs that You rarely use to that folder.

    You can create any folder You like and "group" the shortcuts according to type of application, usage or ...... :confused: ...... !

    also......

    They are "short cuts" and can be deleted right at the Start Menu, Programs area by right clicking the application you don't want to load, and left click delete from the menu that pops up. Whenever you want them back, follow Christer's directions-in reverse.

    Just thought I'd share that tip with yous.....;)

    I knew it would be simple! Thanks.

    Yep I had been doing that to gain space, but now I'm totally organised. Thanks to all. :)
