Technical Tip (PCs): Putting your reference books together in one folder.

I do this is with the program called explore which lets you explore the file structure on your disk drive. To start this program right click on start and select explore. Look for a file called Start Menu. For Windows systems that are set up for multiple users (Windows XP home edition allows this) there are several Start Menus and you would want to edit the one in your own personal directory. Just open up the start menu right click in the right window and select add folder. Name the folder “Reference”. Then drag and drop the programs from other places in your start menus to this new folder.

Microsoft also offers a program designed to customize your start menu. It is available in the control panel in Windows XP. For versions of Windows other than XP it is possibly in other places.
