📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses whether users can organize and create custom folders for shortcuts under the "All Programs" menu in Windows 7, similar to Windows XP. The original poster is specifically interested in consolidating Office shortcuts into a single folder within "All Programs," but finds that Windows 7's default setup does not allow this easy organization. Subsequent replies express similar frustration and attempts to find a solution, but no definitive answer or method is provided by the participants.

In Win XP, I could add a folder, and move shortcuts around to my liking. Can I do that in Win 7? For example, when I installed Office, it did not offer the choice of where to put the shortcuts. I'd like to create a folder called MS Office, and move all the Office shortcuts into it.

Thanks,

Mikey

On the desk top and in any window I seem can right click my mouse, select new and choose folder. Then I name it and put into it what ever I want.

Thanks for the try, but that is not what I want. I want to be able to create entries under All Programs. Sorry for not being more specific.

To test your idea I dragged the shortcut for MS Access from All Programs onto the desktop, put it in a folder and pinned it to the Start menu. Now I can't get it back into All Programs.

I too am looking for answer to your question. I had my All Programs menu so neat in XP and everything was so easy to access. There must be a way to do it in Win 7. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. I will carry on searching for the answer and if I find it I will come back and post to let you know.
