Start Menu Cleanup

Do you have too much clutter in your Start menu? Lots of software likes to stick an icon there during setup, but sometimes your Start menu gets a little overrun.

What to do???

Easy, just right-click the icons you no longer want and select Delete from the resulting menu.

OR

Here's the second way to skin the cat - Right-click the Start button, Explore.

Explorer will open with focus on your Start menu items. Just right-click any you would like to be rid of and select Delete.

Remember, when you delete these icons, you aren't deleting the program, just the shortcut. If you want to remove the program, you'll need to do that from the Control Panel Add/ Remove programs section.

Bonus Tip -

This is especially for users of Win 2000 & ME.

If you hit your Start button, Settings, Taskbar & Start menu, then the Advanced tab, you'll find you have a nice little system for managing all your Start menu items built right in.
