Earlier, I was vague about this because I have created my own Start Menu. It appears that the standard Start Menu is at [C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu]. I use this only for those applications that insist on being there. My preferred Start Menu is at [C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu], where you would have to change "David" to your Windows ID. In addition to the usual Programs folder, this Start Menu also has Games, Internet, Search, and System, several of which have subfolders (e.g., for System, there are Configuration, Disc Tools, and Windows). I also have the Classic Shell application from <http://www.classicshell.net/> installed. This makes much of Windows 7 resemble Windows XP, which I think had a much better user interface (especially the Start button). -- David E. Ross The Crimea is Putin's Sudetenland.
