organizing programs

[flo]

the weirdest thing happened to me. I wanted to organize some of my programs
in my program list.Went to start/programs and right clicked and nothing
happened but it just flashed. I have rebooted and nothing has changed. I
don't know what to do or even what happened. If this is not repaired I will
not have my programs in alphabetical order.
Thanks for your time and effort.

You need to enable the "Enable Dragging and Dropping" Option in your =
start menu properties. Follow these steps:=20

Start > Settings "Taskbar and Start Menu" > "Start Menu" > "Customize" > =
"Enable Dragging and Dropping."=20

For New Start Menu:
Start > Settings "Taskbar and Start Menu" > "Start Menu" > "Customize" > =
"Advanced" > "Enable Dragging and Dropping."

It would help greatly if you said 'right click' on start and select
properties.

I oviously have a different display on my system. If I click start I don't get
'settings' I right click start and select properties. You oviously are using
'classic start menu'. People not set to classic will have a great deal of
confusion in understanding you. Try it! No big deal but will confuse some
users.

Whoa guys, please don't argue. It is not worth it. Yes, there are 2
different ways that the display can be on your screen. There is the Start
menu and the Classic Start Menu. I have mine set at Start Menu. When I got
the 1st reply I just changed my start menu to Classic menu and figured it
out. Then I switched it back to Start Menu again.

When unknown wrote .. his method would have saved me from changing it to the
Classic Start Menu. That is why I was saying you all were correct.

Thanks for your time. Much appreciated.

No argument---just trying to make it understandable to any newbie.
