The "why " was teasing.

I didn't read his answer as a troll. I thought it was a good suggestion.

Me, I have my most common items set for the Quick Launch menu. Those as
well as secondary items are "Pinned" to the Start Menu. Pretty much
everything else I do by the same method. Just type enough into the Instant
Search box and it runs from there. I almost never use the full Start menu.

Yes I do fault you for the manner in which you responded. It may not have
been what you were looking for but it was a working alternative. You got
snotty in response. Those are people who I mark as to not bother supplying
information for in the future.

Go ahead and mark me. You haven't helped a bit. When a question is asked
in a help group, either you answer it or don't. Giving suggestions that
were in no way asked for is silly and not productive.

I choose to have a start menu that functions correctly. If you believe
that this is not something that should be cared about, don't answer.

I was not looking to change my computer usage habits to be more like
yours.

Someone merely offered an alternative. Sometimes they work for you,
sometimes they don't. Doesn't mean you should be an ass about it. Same
advice as you give above. EIther you like the answer or you don't.

There are many Icon Rstorer programs available. A free one that I use
with Win 7 64 bit is "IconRestorer" available from

When I read Andy's response, I did two things:

1. I told K that the OP was going to react negatively.

2. I took a poll. Two out of two in this room agreed with Andy. We just
got used to the new way and went on from there.

For me, Andy's method became in fact much more convenient than the old
way, but K just got used to it. No better, no worse.

I haven't done any pinning yet (except in the task bar), but I am
listening to your suggestion :)

My favorite part of Dock's responses is his use of the word
"correctly".

That's for the desktop. Dock is having trouble with the start menu and
the alphabet.

Actually, I am having problems with moronic twits that are offering
useless help in a help group.

When asking for assistance to make folders not alphabetize themselves, I
am told that it is easier to just let them do whatever they wish.

This is dumbassery advice and the ones, such as yourself, who agree that
it is just the bestest available advice and should really be good
enough, are just as moronic.

If someone has a hole in their bucket and asks for advice on how to
patch the hole, the advice should not be to not use a bucket.

This group is a joke. Are there any posters here who have owned a
computer for more than 6 months?

Well it's been several hours now and I've switched off a couple of times,
surfed the net, sent and received emails, played a few games and had a
couple of Microsoft updates and still the start menu entries have stayed
where I set them.
I took snapshots of the registry while re-arranging the icons and it looks
like the settings are saved in this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage
with the data held in the binary value 'AllProgramsOrder'.

I renamed this value and rebooted and the start menu entries reverted to alphabetical
sorting, even though the box 'Sort All Programs menu by name' was still clear.

I looks like when you select the box 'Sort All Programs menu by name' in the customize
section Explorer ignores the reg key above and sorts alphabetically by default.
When the box is not selected then Explorer reads the reg key and sorts according to
the data held there.
If your settings are not being saved have a look at that reg key.

You and I can agree to disagree. I've found 99% of Andy's posts are from
