Hi.
It's easy to turn off the most recently used programs from displaying in
the start menu, just as it is easy to turn that off in windows xp
without needing to switch it to the classic start menu which I don't
like by the way. I like xp's default start menu with the most recent
programs list turned off much more than the classic start menu that
looks like windows 98. Also I like that win7's start menu is a tree view
that's a little easier to find things in even without using the search
box. If you want something in programs just go to the start menu, up
arrow out of the edit box, right arrow to programs, up arrow again to
get out of the search box that you'll land on in there, and type a few
letter of what you want, like gm for GMA tank commander or you could
type aud hit right arrow type gm right arrow type ta for tank commander
right arrow type pl for play though I believe you'd already be on play
so you might get unexpected results in that particular case. What I
don't like about 7's start menu is that once you open something, you
can't close it without first arrowing up to the actual item you're
inside, so if you're in the GMA folder you have to arrow up to where it
says GMA expanded and then hit left arrow to close it. That's pretty
annoying when you're used to hitting left arrow a bunch of times
indiscriminately like I do in thunderbird to close what you've expanded
your way out onto.

Thanks quentin,
It's good to know that someone! in the open source community has
thought the same and won't accept what microsoft give out.
Certainly when I do have to get windows 7 I'll have a look for that
program.
i've heard of classic shell before, but I don't think that covers the
start menue.
Beware the grue!

Hi dark,
For the problem you mention with windows 7 start menu, there is a
good solution:
there is a small program called classic start menu. You will easily
find it on google.
This program is very light, and replace the crappy mmixed up windows
7 start menu with a classic start menu like W98 or XP. I use it
allmost since I switched to W7, because original start menu of
windows 7 annoyed me as well. In fact the only nice thing in the W7
start menu is the search field, all the rest is crap.
