Re: Start Menu Program Listings

Hi!
What did you mean by:"Get your selector in All Programs"? R-clicking on
"Programs" in the Startup pop-up menu gives me a choice of Open or Explore,
both of which give a Winows Explorer window which is already in alphabetical
order.....I want the actual Startup Menu top be in alphabetical order so I
can find what I want quickly....
--
Thanks for the help!
J.

Go to Start/All Programs and then over to where the programs are listed
and right click and choose Sort by Name. As I don't want mine changed, I
haven't tried it.
