devHead Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 A friend of mine years ago emphasized to me the importance of keeping the start menu under control, so I've always tried to do that...

Pupik Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I don't understand why people try and keep it as minimal as possible, with all those folder craziness. You just create more job for yourself and keep all the old stuff, if you didn't go and remove manually the folders after uninstalling a software/game (Because the shortcuts that the setup has put in your start menu, has been moved to different folder).

Heck, half the time, the uninstallers that aren't using NSIS or MSI are broken and don't remove the folders and shortcuts from the location they put them in in the first place.

I don't understand how people can't keep their computers organized and allow their Start Menu to be 3 or 4 columns long. It takes time to find anything and half of the programs listed there are not used at all anyway (like program which start with the computer, etc) I think in general it takes less time to put a game/program in a correct category than to look for something you need EVERY single time you want to run it. I'm not going to include a screenshot of my own Start Menu, I'll just say that it consists of: Accessories Startup CD-RW Stuff Development Games Network OpenOffice Media System and that's it.

NiceCarpet Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Quote I don't understand why people try and keep it as minimal as possible, with all those folder craziness.You just create more job for yourself and keep all the old stuff, if you didn't go and remove manually the folders after uninstalling a software/game (Because the shortcuts that the setup has put in your start menu, has been moved to different folder). Alot of people around here use CCleaner, I just run its reg cleaner after uninstalling software and it finds any broken link's in my start menu and gets rid of them, no looking for them :) If you ask me not sorting your start menu creates more "craziness" when trying to find something : P Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/511281-how-large-is-your-all-program-menu/page/2/#findComment-588044448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanspringer Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 With Windows Vista, you don't even really need to use the All programs menu anymore, So i don't even bother with it, or what it looks like Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/511281-how-large-is-your-all-program-menu/page/2/#findComment-588044534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
