Under start menu in WinXP, you can set to either Classic, or XP's new style.
I prefer the new style, but at a screen res of 1280x1024, I have over 3 pages of shortcuts listed under programs.
My problem is they are not sorted Alphabetically, so its a friggin pain to find anything.

If I change it to Classic, everything gets sorted Alphabetically, when i change back to XP, it all goes chop suey again.

any ideas would be appreciated.

cheers

On the machine I’m on at the moment I have mine sorted into

MS Office
Business
Games
apps
security

For me that makes them as tidy as possible and easiest to quickly find the program I am after.
