Vista - Program Menu

01-23-2009

Can someone tell me how I can get my programs on the program menu so I don't
have to have shortcuts all over my desktop? Dragging and dropping them on
the start button or Programs list doesn't get them there.

I asked this before but can't find the post or replies here.

Thanks

how about setting up a toolbar or two for your short cuts?
click on some empty area of taskbar, new toolbar
then open the new toolbar fodler and drag all you short cuts in there

That's what the Quick Launch toolbar is for.

Simple. Right click Start. Select Open to get to the Programs folder for the
current user or Open All Users to get to the Programs folder for everyone.
Anything you put in the Programs folder, such as folders or shortcuts, will
appear on your start menu. Simply move your desktop shortcuts to the
Programs folder.
