Guest broken1 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 How can one change the order of the Start Menu? I have Messages first which is great, then I have Office and Calender on the first line. I want to change it to Messages, Task Manager, Call Register etc Is there a way to change the order of the programs in the start menu? Is there a .XML I need to edit or something? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi there ;) I think you can do it on the registry. Try checking this: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu\Order 'Order' is a multi-string value. The first entry you see there corresponds to the first shortcut of your Start Menu. Kindly check this screengrab (from WM5 SP Emulator)... http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/3488/snap658lo1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried this on my Dash and it didn't work. The whole Start Menu turns blank and you can't do anything. I had to hard reset. The only way I've been able to do this is to first install Jeyo Personalizer. After using that to reorder the Start Menu, I can then go into the registry and make the changes I want. Weird that I have to run Jeyo first but I found that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I renamed this key to Order1 on my Blackjack 2 (WM6) and power cycled. The Start Menu now displays in alpha order. You could do this and then manipulate the folder/item names to get the order you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
