ON a part of your solutions solver you said you can remove items from this as well. I have got quite a few headings of programms that I do not want on my start menu .Is there any way I can get rid of them please?

Sure. Instead of adding a new shortcut per the instructions above, just locate the shortcut you want to remove and delete it. (Right click on it and select "Delete".)

Forgetting about adding things to the Start Menu for the moment -- I'm just curious: has anyone ever tried DELETING the whole Start Menu (either "Username" or "All Users" version, or both)? Frankly I doubt Windows would be stupid enough to let you, but I myself am too "cluck-cluck-cluck" (or rather, not foolhardy enough) to try it. If it "worked", though, wouldn't that ever be the ultimate kick in the head!?

If you right click on the start button then click on Open, Windows Explorer will open with the Start Menu folder for your user name selected. You can then drag and drop any short cuts you want onto the Programs folder or, if you desire, create all kinds of sub folders. You can rearrange the start menu any way you want just like you arrange your folders and subfolders. Just drag and drop them where you want them. You can do the same with the All Users Start Menu folder. They are just like any other folders and you can do with anything you can do with a regular folder and file (shortcut).
