I realize this.
What I didn't realize is, if you sorted the folder in Explorer, it would
sort in the Start Menu.
I still haven't tested, but I just want to verify:
If I have two separate Programs folders (as you mentioned) and I install a
new program, it currently shows up at the bottom of the whole start menu.
If I do what you suggested, when I install a new program, it will sort
together with the other programs from that scope (i.e., either with all the
rest of the "All Users" programs, or with the rest of the "my" programs)?
If I seem incredulous, it is because I thought that there was not that kind
of link between Explorer and the Start Menu...

The issue is that the Programs on the program menu are stored in 2 different
places. The ones in All Users Programs will display at the top of the menu
and the ones from your profile Programs menu will display at the bottom.
Unless you put all of the programs in one folder or the other the start
programs folder will always be split up. You can resolve the split programs
issue by cutting and pasting all of the icons in your profiles programs
folder into the all users folder.

Does this work for the Start Menu? It can't be that simple, can it?
Off to experiment...

You'll need to browse to the Programs folder under all users, and the one
under your profile using Explorer. Once in the directory sort it by name
and then go over to Tools/Folder Options?View tab and set it to remember
your settings for both of the Programs directories.

Hi There
Is there an easy way to Auot-Arrange the Programs Menu into alphabetical
order? I know you can simply right mouse click and select sort by name,
but is there a way to do this automatically particulary after installing
apps?
Thanks in advance.
