Thanks to all of the members of the group who have so graciously helped
me progress in understanding my computer. The proof of the helpfulness
is evidenced by my ability to operate my computer for weeks at a time
without any major problems! and ever more importantly, if I have do a
problem, many times I am able to resolve it with additional help!
However, somehow there is a very fundamental understanding about the
Start Menu that I have failed to learn about. So I am looking for some
advise to clear up my lack of understanding.
I know it pays to keep your Start Menu from getting overloaded. So I was
cleaning out anything I did not need to open at start up.
I have noticed that all of the programs I have downloaded and kept are
placed in the start up menu. ( Just to be sure I am talking about the
right thing, this is where I am looking: Right click on
Start>Explorer>and Under Start Menu I click on the + next to Programs to
see all of the programs that are loading up when I start my computer.
The only other item listed with Programs is desktop.ini.)
Some of the listed programs have the short cut arrow next to them and
others don't.
My questions are: 1. Why do just some of the programs have shortcuts?
