How to Organize your Programs in the Start Menu

If you have many programs installed, it can be difficult to find the one you want in the Start | All Programs menu. To make it easier, you can organize them into subfolders and "pin" your most used programs to the top section of the Start menu so they'll always appear there.

To pin a program to the top section, just click Start | All Programs and drag the program you want into the top section on the Start menu. This creates a shortcut there, and does not remove the shortcut from the All Programs menu.

To organize programs into subfolders, do the following:

• Right click the Start button and select Explore. Windows Explorer will open with the Start menu folder highlighted in the left pane.
• Click the Programs folder. In the right pane, you'll see folders that represent submenus and shortcuts to programs.
• Make new submenus by right clicking in an empty space in the right pane and selecting New | Folder. Name the new folder whatever you want the new submenu to be named (for example, Graphics Programs).
• You can drag the programs you want into the submenu (for example, you might drag Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw?Create and PhotoPaint?Create into the Graphics folder).

Now when you open the Programs menu, you'll have submenus with your similar programs organized in them, making it easier to find the programs you need and making your Programs menu shorter.

Alien Agenda By Jum Marrs
[More About This Book]?Create

Alien Agenda is the silk thread leading the way through the maze of UFO literature into the heart of the UFO controversy. While he begins with the premise that the existence of UFOs cannot be denied, Jim Marrs (author of Crossfire, the mother of all John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy books) boldly strides into the battle over what UFOs are and why they are here. Marrs's investigative skills are invaluable in this re-examination of questions that have been overlooked, unaddressed, or unsatisfactorily resolved.
