How to Alphabetize the Start Menu (WindowsXP)
If you have many programs installed, it can become time consuming locating a program in your Start Menu, as by default they are not in alphabetical order.
There’s a simple trick to get Windows to re-alphabetize your programs…
- Click the Windows Start Button.
- Move your mouse over the All Programs icon to display all Start Menu folders.
- If your Start Menu is set to the Classic View, move your mouse over the Programs folder instead.
- Now, move your mouse over any of your listed menu folders such as Accessories, etc.
- While holding your mouse still, Press the Right Mouse Button.
- This will open a menu for you to now click on the Sort by Name selection.
- And as a result, your Programs Menu Folders will be neatly arranged alphabetically.
- This procedure also applies to all Sub-Menu folders as well. Simply press the Right Mouse Button.
- Then click on the Sort by Name selection within the menu area you want to alphabetize.
