I am a newbie to XP. I would like to know how can i organise my start menu folder? I can't find it anywhere under the "Taskbar and Star Menu" option under Control Panel. TQ

if by organize you mean sort alphabetically, then here's what you need:

Right click on any item within "All Programs" and select "Sort by Name"

Right Click Start Menu, choose Properties, click Customize, click Advanced.

When I right clicked on mine as I wrote that, it opened to the Start Menu Tab, so I didn't write it.....maybe it's just mine

Thank you for the tips. Now, i want to organise my start menu by making folders for games so i can put all the shortcuts for games into that sub folder. How can i do that? I can't do it in start and taskbar option.

C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Start Menu

and also

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu
