5. Fill-A-Folder
If you frequently add shortcuts to your Start menu (drag and drop an item on the Start button, and its shortcut appears in the top area of the main menu), you may soon find the menu stretching out of control.
To cut down on the disarray, create a new Start Menu folder to store these items.
Right-click the Start button and select Open. Right-click a blank area inside the window and select New, Folder. Type a name for the folder, such as Current Files, then press Enter.
Now fill the folder with frequently used shortcuts. Drag and drop items from the Start Menu window directly on top of this folder; or drag items in from other locations, such as another folder or the desktop. When you're finished, close the Start Menu window.
Click Start, select your new folder, and out pops a menu of the shortcuts you placed inside. Talk about neat and tidy!
