Order start menu alphabetically

After years, probably, of having 3 or 4 columns of start menu programs all of which are installeds in no-particular order, I have finally gotten sick of struggling to find the program I want to launch. Again, I set about [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=order+start+menu+alphabetically&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a]googling[/url] for a solution and found one on [url=http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com]www.softwaretipsandtricks.com[/url]. Here it is:

When you move programs around in your WindowsXP start menu, the OS will stop arranging it when you add new software. This happens when you move items from your user start menu to the all users start menu. Here is the fix:

1. Open regedit (Start -> Run. Type regedit)
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu\Menu OR HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\MenuOrder\Start Menu2\Menu
3. Remove the order key by right clicking and going to delete.
4. Log out then back in.
