Start Menu All Programs - Add or Delete Shortcuts

Thanks for this tutorial. I did not know about the Shift key action as most shortcuts on the All Programs Menu provide the "Pin To..." option.

Good job!

First post here as well.
I upgraded from Vista 64 Ultimate to Windows 7 64 Ultimate.
In Vista, my start menu had folders that I designated: Programming, Entertainment, financial, etc. In each folder I placed a group of shortcuts.

When I followed through with the directions, I saw my folders in the ...\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.

I have to click on ALL Programs and then they are there with a LOT of other stuff.
Is there any way to get ONLY those folders to show by default and not have to click on ALL PROGRAMS?

Thanks...

no way to create folders that operate like the ones on the right side and expand?

I think I love you!

I called Microsoft about help with this problem and the 'tech' moved a folder from the "Program Files" onto the Start menu programs.

I said "you just moved the entire program onto the start menu, now it is no longer in "Program Files".

So he/she put it back and right-clicked on it and 'copied' and went to 'paste' it into the Start Menu programs.

I said "stop! I dont want to copy my program folders to the start menu programs."

He/She asked 'what do you want then?'. I said I wanted shortcuts. He/she said "well you didnt say that".

This 'tech' had no clue what the purpose of the Start Menu is and how it works. He/she messed up my computer and I had to do a system restore. Good thing I stopped this person when I did.

Hopefully, with this information, I will be able to do it right.

Thank You!

I finally got my "All Programs" the way I want it.
Its so organized even a MS Tech could find stuff in it!
