I thought this program may help me, but it falls far short of anything I need. It says it makes it easy to alter your “Start Menu”. I had more problems than before, 1 – It crashed 3 times, 2 – Some of my menu items did not show up (both folders & programs), and 3 – it sometimes did not make the changes it said it did.

I would not recommend this program to anyone. I am sorry that GAOTD got suckered into putting it out. You couldn’t even pay me to use it.

correction to #61–meant to say Vista START MENU Creator, not repeat SA

Hi Folks,

One quick point. On Freeware that has a separate pro version, look at the limitations. On Tidy Start Menu, unless you go to the $ version, it looks like you can’t define your own categories, which makes the freeware version far inferior to setting up the Start Menu on your own. (I use a Total Commander type program for this.)

However the Freeware version of the Vista Start Menu program looked fine, not what you might call Tidy .. crippleware.

Caveat emptor.
Let the non-buyer beware.

Shalom,
Steven

Just to clarify what I said in my previous 2 posts, I already knew about deleting unwanted files/programs (#53, Belgian Dude), but I didn’t know about organizing/alphabetizing them. :)

Okay, I decided to download and try this program out, and it is just like you all have said; nothing you can’t do already by following above given instructions. When I first saw today’s offering, I thought, “Oh boy, just what I need since I have thinking how I would like to get my Start Menu cleaned up”. Of course, then I read the comments, and so on. I may decide to try Tidy Start, as well, just to see how it works. At either rate, thanks GAOTD for the software. :)

#13, oliviab, hee hee…I must be one of those “who are a sandwich short…” because though I knew I could clean up my desktop I didn’t know I could do the same with my Start Menu (and I have been thinking about that very thing this past week, too) – learned that form the first 4 posters, whose comments I read early (now) yesterday a.m. Hee hee…I can’t believe all these years we have had computers in this house and I never heard anything about cleaning up the Start Menu.

#29, rojo, your first sentence…I didn’t know that either. I just did that and it did just as you said.

See ‘guys’, one can learn from just about any comment posted here, even if it’s a ‘who needs that when you can just do/download…?’ Of course even those comments should be made nicely, as rojo’s was. :)

Wow this looks useful.
*installing
Wow this looks utterly useless.
*uninstalling
What the hell, why would anyone make such a pointless program? Thank god for freeware like Tidy Start Menu. (D’oh, I clicked the wrong vote button XP)

Was going to try, but remembered that I got Zard’s “Cleanse Uninstaller” from GAOTD and it died after a TRIAL period. Who is to say, but this one probably will as well. Not worth the time to set up and the headaches after it dies.
