Organize your Start Menu alphabetically



I’ve seen many people who have installed several programs here and there being lost when trying to launch that one program. They click Start > All Programs, then go “hm, where is that program?”.

You can easily avoid this by doing 2 things:

1. Alphabetize the start menu: Just highlight anything on your start menu, right click, and choose ’sort by name’.

2. Remove useless items from the start menu: For example, do you really need to see internet explorer on the list? I mean, it’s already on your desktop. If you ever have any regrets, you can always go back to finding that shortcut by going to window explorer > c drive > program files path. And by the way, don’t worry, removing something from your start menu does not delete the program itself.

Rock on! What a kickin' piece of advice. I too have been annoyed by this for years. Who knew (but you) that the answer was so simple?
