Software Tip: Sorting the Programs Menu

Most of the times you install a new program on Windows it will create a group of icons accessible from Start – Programs. The new group should be placed in alphabetical order together with the other existent groups. However it is a well known issue that eventually after a number of installations this will no
longer be the case with the group of icons being placed at the end of the list! You can fix this annoyance by following this procedure:

1. Install the program and check if the group was placed at the end of the Programs menu.
2. If that is the case then click on Start.
3. Move the mouse pointer on All Programs.
4. Move the mouse pointer anywhere on the list of Programs.
5. Click the right mouse button.
6. From the pop-up menu click Sort by name.
