Normally i have way more games, but i just reinstalled windows. I'm gonna do it again just as soon i can fix the drive letters. My windows drive is the j: drive

All my programs are in the start menu shortcuts. I removed the recently used and implanted my own.

Hope that helps.

For those unaware, you can also detach any toolbar (Links is commonly used, or create a new one), and do the following:

• Remove the desired toolbar from taskbar.
• Place along screen edge of choice (I use the top).
• Remove "Show Title" and "Show Text".
• Set to "Always on Top" and "Auto-Hide".
• Resize to match the thickness of of one icon in height or width (depending upon orientation)

The result is a "Quick Launch"-like bar with the subfolder option mentioned above that remains hidden until moused over. The end result will appear much like JoeKing's bar, only hidden until moused over.

Very convenient, and saves desktop real estate.

Every single app that I commonly use. You can load your apps in 2 clicks = much more efficient than the stupid start menu.

Keeps the desktop clear too.
