The All Programs menu gets in your way as soon as you press the Start Orb or tap the Windows key, and I am sure a lot of people wonder how to add their own folders to it. Since this wish isn't that hard to turn into reality, I decided to show you how to add custom folders to the All Programs menu, so here it goes...
