Editing the All Programs list
I want to delete some folders from the "All Programs" list, but not get rid of the actual folders -- and the programs they hold. Can this be done?
Thanks

Since nearly all of the programs listed in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs and C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Start Menu\Programs are short cuts, deleting any of these shortcuts will not delete the actual programs nor the folders containing these programs.

That would only happen if you installed the programs to the ....\startmenu\programs folder. Did you do this? If you right click on a program in that folder and select properties, does it indicate that it is a shortcut? Of course if you delete the shortcut, then you would have to run the program from its .exe file in its original folder.
