I have done the same thing and have a much smaller listing of programs.
I also do the same thing on my desktop so I do not have rows and rows
of user program icons on my desktop.

What I did on my PC at work is organize the programs into categories.
For example, WinAmp and Quicktime and VLC went into a category
called "Multimedia", and MS Office and OpenOffice went into a category called
"Office"... etc.
Organizing the stuff is pretty easy. If you right-click on the Start Menu
button, you'll see two menu items "Open" and "Open All Users". You'll
probably need to do both, as some programs will likely be in one, and some
in the other. They'll show up just like regular Windows folders (that's
because they are, under the covers). So, open the "Programs" folder in
each, and create the categories you want by making new folders in the
Program folder you choose. (If you do it in the "All Users" folder, then
your categories will be available no matter which user logs into your PC,
if the other then the categories will only be available to you.)
Once you've created the category folders, simply drag the individual
programs and program folders into the folders for the appropriate
category. You can even put programs in multiple categories by copying
rather than moving the programs (hold the control key while dragging the
program into that category).
Voila!
