| | Create New Folders Grouping Similiar Programs Where in Vista's Windows Explorer, do you create new folders to group similar programs so show as such under Start > All Programs? As an Example: In WinXP, could go to Windows Explorer > All Users > Start and create new folder/s to group similiar programs so showed as such under Start > All Programs Hope have adequately explained what trying to do. Tx! |

Tx! Right-click on the Start orb, select Open All Users. This takes you here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu From there you can go into the Programs folder and make the required adjustments. You will have to accept any UAC prompts, as altering the All Users menu is a system-wide change. -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included.
