re Start menu

[taurarian]

I agree Ken, but sometimes it's easier to leave them and
organise the shortcuts rather than delete them as the
person may wish to use the programs in the future and
would have to put them back anyway. Just thought it would
be easier that way. Suppose it would have been easier to
say right click shortcut and select delete from menu.

OK, there are certainly circustances in which your way is better.
My point was just that it's not necessarily so.
