jPaulB Extraordinary Member May 19, 2011 #1 Hi Folks, I've accumulated quite a list of software in the START->ALL PROGRAMS selection. I would really like to group them all into four or five folders, and not have to look at so much. Will W-7 allow this, and how can I do it? Regards, Paul

davehc Essential Member Premium Supporter May 20, 2011 #2 My chosen way (I am a dedicated customiser!!!) is to do into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and create folders in there, and then move individual items into each folder. I run permanently as the Global Administrator, but as a user/Admin. you may also find you need to open C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs and copy (D= NOT Move!) some of the user items which do not exist in program data, over to there. here is an example of how my start menu looks.
