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...
- Right click the Start Orb to bring up its context menu.

- Choose Explore to add the new menu to the current user, or Explore All Users, to apply changes to all existing users.
- In the window that appears, click on the Programs folder to open it.

- Once the new window opens, left click Organize, and pick New Folder from the menu that appears.

- Type in a name for this new folder and press Enter when finished.

- Open the All Programs menu to see the changes in effect.

That's all, folks! Obviously, you can add anything you want to the new folder you have just created, as well as to create new ones, so go ahead and use this knowledge to enhance your Vista user experience. Good luck!
