INTRODUCTION
At first, you might go a little crazy and add all kinds of icons to your Start menu. But after you use the computer more and more, you might want to streamline the Start menu and weed out programs that you don't use.
TIP
Expand the Listing
To display and select the program you want to remove, you might need to expand the folder listings. Click the plus sign next to the folder that contains the desired program.
TIP
WARNING!
Keep in mind that removing a program from the Start menu does not remove the program and its files from your hard disk. To do this, you must uninstall the program or manually delete it and its related folders and files (see Task 11).
The Confirm File Delete dialog box opens, asking whether you're sure you want to delete the shortcut. Click the Yes button.
The program is removed. Click the Close button to close the Remove Shortcuts/Folders dialog box.
TIP
Remove a Folder
You can follow this procedure to remove a folder from the Start menu. Simply select the folder, and then click the Remove button. You are prompted to confirm the removal before the folder and all its contents are removed.
TIP
Close the Dialog Boxes
Click the OK button to close the Customize Classic Start Menu dialog box. Then click OK to close the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box.
