Vista - edit all programs menu

I have 3 full rows of programs on my "All Programs" menu. I want to add my
own folders so I can drag same type programs there (all IM & email stuff in a
floder- video programs, photo edit, comp tools all have their own folder).
Here is how I do it "some times" if I remove a program, and the empty folder
is still on the menu, I right click, & change the name, then drag the floders
I want in there... some times I miss the folder, and have no clue where the
shortcut went.
What is the "All Programs" menu, and can I look at it in an edit type mode?
Thanks for any reply.

Hi,
First show hidden files and folders. Then go to
C:/Program Data/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs

Thanks , that helps so much- I did alot of "help searhces" searches looking
for this too.... Now I have to wonder why it was in C:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\Start Menu\Programs for me... But anyway, you really helped me
a lot- wish I did this sooner, thanks again.
