Windows 2000 Taskbar - Toolbar

Display Programs Menu in Alphabetical Order

SUMMARY: Make it easier on yourself to find a desired Windows 2000 software program.


 

By default, Windows 2000's Programs Menu should display items in alphabetical order - first the folders in alphabetical order, then individual programs in alphabetical order. This naturally makes it easier to find programs. However, after installing and installing many applications, items may tend to appear in a seemingly random order. If you'd like to re-sort the items in your Programs menu so they appear from A to Z, follow this tip.

1. Right click on an empty area of your taskbar and choose "Properties".

2. When the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "Advanced" tab.

3. Now, click the "Re-sort" button, and press 'OK" to close the dialog box.
