Vista - Windows 7 Start Menu

I can't seem to find Newsgroups for Windows 7, so I'm hoping to find
an answer for my question here!

I've installed Win7 on my laptop and want to customize the Start
Menu's All Programs windows. I normally consolidate like
programs/folders into one common folder to minimize the number of
items on the All Program window (i.e. all Microsoft related items in
one folder called something like Microsoft Programs). I can't seem to
figure out how to do that in Windows 7.

Any thoughts/pointers are appreciated.

Thanks
Charlie

you add stuff. But take a look here:

The only newsgroup known for Windows 7 so far is not on the MS servers
(and probably never will be). That newsgroup would be
alt.windows7.general and only found on certain newsservers. Right now
I'm seeing it through nntp.aioe.org

What about the All Programs windows on the Start Menu? How do you
consolidate folders/programs on there into one folder?

What you need to do is left click on the start button and right click on the
"All programs" bar and left click on open all users.
That will take you to explorer and the directory where start menu programs
are arranged. You can create new folders, consolidate, etc. However unless
you turn it off the UAC is just as annoying and useless as it was/is in
Vista.
