Homework Help: Computers: Software: Alphabetize Your Start Menu in Micrsoft Windows

Keep things in order and sort your Start menu alphabetically.

To do so:

1. Right-click any item in your Start menu and select "Sort by Name" from the pop-up menu. This will place items alphabetically within your Start menu. However, when new items are added, they won't necessarily appear in alphabetical order.

2. To ensure that all folders appearing in your Start menu will remain alphabetical, you must first access the Registry Editor by typing Regedit in the Start menu's Run command.

3. Once in the Registry Editor, access the
Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder
directory.

4. Click the Start Menu\Menu subdirectory and delete the Order key that appears in the right-hand pane of the Registry Editor.

5. Restart Windows to effect the change.

Warning: Tweaking the Registry is risky; you're taking your system into your own hands. To be safe, manually back up the Registry before you make any changes.
