I have 3 full rows of programs on my "All Programs" menu. I want to add my
own folders so I can drag same type programs there (all IM & email stuff in a floder- video programs, photo edit, comp tools all have their own folder). Here is how I do it "some times" if I remove a program, and the empty folder is still on the menu, I right click, & change the name, then drag the floders I want in there... some times I miss the folder, and have no clue where the shortcut went. What is the "All Programs" menu, and can I look at it in an edit type mode? Thanks for any reply. |

Hi,
First show hidden files and folders. Then go to C:/Program Data/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs -- Paul "Arctictrek" wrote: I have 3 full rows of programs on my "All Programs" menu.
