How many programs in your Start Menu ? by izcool on 10-11-2004 at 11:47 PM

Hey everyone,

I've been with MsgPlus! for over a year now.

Just popped on for a few minutes because I was wondering how many programs other members here have loaded in their Start Menu.

MSN Messenger 7.0 Beta is neat, shame that MsgPlus! doesn't work with it yet.  Hopefully soon.  :)

Anyway, I have too many programs to count, it even goes off the screen a little...

It would be neat to see other people's screenshots, comparing my embarrassing amount to other's.  :P

- Mike.

You should clean that up, for example - you don't need a way to manually access DIVx codecs or the shitty player, and you don't need WinRar AND WinZip :P


RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by izcool on 10-11-2004 at 11:52 PM

Yeah, one day I might clear that out.  (That'll take me awhile though).


RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by toddy on 10-11-2004 at 11:52 PM

yeh u really need to delete some stuff off there


RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by gnownoskcid on 10-12-2004 at 12:22 AM

holy shite it doesn't even fit the monitor!!! what i do is to sort the programs into different folders based on their catogory


RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by izcool on 10-12-2004 at 12:38 AM

That could work.  :)

WTF?!? How is this hacking? On Windows XP the Start Menu contents are stored in C:\Documents And Settings\%User Name%\Start Menu and C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Start Menu

I just created folders and organized all of it.



I think he was just commenting on the fact that you have a folder dedicated to hacking.  :S
RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by WDZ on 10-12-2004 at 04:27 AM

I have 2 full columns under "All Programs"... I guess that's between 60 and 70 items. Every time a 3rd column shows up, I delete or move something... :refuck:

* WDZ wonders if izcool's Programs menu takes a while to pop up... ^o)

It takes about 3 seconds.  (P4, 2.0 GHz, with 768MB RAM).
RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by user27089 on 10-12-2004 at 07:09 AM

RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by Pyroteq on 10-12-2004 at 07:29 AM

Mine had three collums and i think 2 is enough so as soon as i saw this thread i just thought to myself i need a cleanup so heres a new shot of it (Should have posted before and after shots, shame i didnt think of it before it was too late!)

Actually..Now im about half way through the list and realised i have multiple folders and shorcuts that are infact the same program, that program shorcuts in about 5 different folders with similar and different names..This will take too long i cant be bothered to clean my start menu!

RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by Millenium_edition on 10-12-2004 at 02:20 PM

i don't even use it...

and huge start menus are sad ¬_¬


RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by .blade// on 10-12-2004 at 02:24 PM

You think 3 colums is bad? I have a friend with dual monitors and is essentially addicted to cracking programs.....he has at least 5 colums (@ 1280x1024 per monitor) at any point in time :S That's at least a couple hundred programs at any point in time :S


RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by Vilkku on 10-12-2004 at 02:28 PM

Here's mine, I have porblems keeping everything on-screen, so I clean it pretty often. But, if someone asks why I have both WinZip, Rar and Ace, it's because I use WinZip as my main, and WinRar for rar files and WinAce for ace files.

RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by Mippo on 10-12-2004 at 02:34 PM

I think I have about 60... I use that menu-scroll function which I personally really like. :) I have about 5 things on my desktop though, I put everything in the start menu, else in that quickstart thingie :P

The folder 'Extra bureau-accessoires' (Additional Accessories) contains all the other stuff, I just like to have it clean and organised like this :)

Double edit: Worked anyway...I only changed my icons and hid the shortcut arrow though because..
I like my current sounds (Lambroghini theme)
I like my current colour scheme

Change startup/shutdown logo to expierence.. Whats that do?
RE: How many programs in your Start Menu ? by ddunk on 10-13-2004 at 07:41 AM

Mine takes up about 1/16 of my desktop... I couldn't stand having some of yours, but then again, I can't stand any res below about 1600x1200 :P
