As I said valliant, I just don't like relying on a search box, I prefer to
physically go and put things in different places.
Also, the expanded thing was irritating in the explorer for windows 7, I
personally prefer just hitting enter on a folder to see what's inside it,
though again this is just microsoft altering the Ui and telling people it's
different.
I'll probably get that program quentin mentioned.
Beware the grue!

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.

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.
