Hi.Maybe someone can help.I am new to XP and I'm not too familiar with it just yet.Here's my problem.When I had 98SE installed, I was able to keep my start menu and program menu small.I would start by right clicking my mouse on the start button than to explore and than click "programs" on the left, and right click on the right side to make a new folder.I would name it something like "Junk" and drag and drop other programs into it to keep my menu small.Then when I needed anything I put in there, all I would have to do is go to my new "Stuff" folder and choose what I need.It kept things clean and COMPACT I guess you could say with my start menu and programs.LOL!I can't seem to do this with XP.I am sure it can be done but how??????Thanks for any help.

Do the same as you would 98 with a slight difference.
Right click Start, left click Explore ALL Users. In the left pain click Programs, File - NEW - Folder, name it whatever, now drag the programs into the folder.
