rearranging startup menu

Hello

I wanted to arrange my startup menu programs. i.e. the programs i can access after going through the following sequence

Start --> All Programs -->

i wanted to put all the like programs e.g. games in one folder and ms applications in another folder and so on

can you guys tell me how to do it?


i did right click on the start button and click open
double-click "programs"and created a flder named games, dragged two of my games folders onto it

when i went back to start-->al programs i found that a whole bunch of yahoo games had also magically been copied to the games folder. now say if i want to create a sub games folder containing all my yahoo games, how do i do it. i

a related question is if i create microsoft office folder on the start-all programs menu, how do i copy the ms word applications to it?
 
go to c:\documents and settings\all users, or username, (wherever your starmenu items are)\start menu. now, just rearange the folders and shortcuts there.
 
Use Windows Explorer. All the Start porgrams are in

Documents and Settings > (YourName) > Start Menu > Programs
-and-
Documents and Settings > All Users > Start Menu > Programs
 
I just drag & drop the programs onto the expanding layers. Like under accessories, I drag dvd decryter from where it is on the list, & onto the accessories drop menu.
 
thanks for the replies

Documents and Settings > (YourName) > Start Menu > Programs
-and-
Documents and Settings > All Users > Start Menu > Programs


worked like a charem

i suppose what i userx would see in the startup is a mix of userx and allusers programs, correct?
