The Windows start menu has not changed a lot in the last operating systems that Microsoft has released. Sure, some features like the ability to search or execute programs directly has been implemented, but those new features have not changed the overall look and feel of the start menu. One of the main points of criticism is the lack of options to organize the start menu. Practically any application that gets installed places an entry in the start menu, usually a folder with one or multiple program, file and website links. This fills up the start menu over time, and even though it is sorted alphabetically, it often takes longer than needed to find and start a program from there. It is possible to organize the start menu manually. But that is only a temporary solution, considering that every new program that adds an entry to the menu breaks the order of items. The free software Handy Start Menu offers an alternative. Probably the best feature of the program is its simplicity. Simply install it in Windows, select to enable the organized start menu and watch the magic happening. organize start menu All start menu items are instantly organized into categories like Office, Internet, Security and Utilities. Everything that cannot be identified by the program is put into the Without Category folder.
