I would like to sort all my programs alphabetically in Visa Business- it was
so simple in Windows XP (start - programs -just right click a program and
sort)....

Have been looking for a way to do this with no luck - can someone help me?
Thanks..

in Windows Vista, the start menu is kept sorted alphabetically
automatically. When a new item is added, it's put in the right position,
automatically.

Right click the Start Orb, select Properties, Start Menu tab, press
"Customize..." button, scroll down and check "Sort All Programs menu by name".
