   Hi Paul,   
   I wonder if you remember, when Windows 10 first came out, you and I tried   
   to wrestle control over both the alphabetical and orthogonal tiled menus?   
      
   It turned out the tiled menus are some kind of sadistically controlled   
   binary, as I recall, so we both summarily gave up trying to control it.   
      
   The alphabetical menu is easily controlled, but every day an update throws   
   more crap in there such that it wasn't worth trying to keep it clean.   
      
   The only "clean" menu is a menu that no other program knows about.   
   You populate it from the desktop shortcut that is often created by an msi.   
      
   You organize it by what the program *does* instead of by brand name.   
   Organizing by brand name is like organizing your kitchen utensils by brand.   
      
   The funny thing is everyone figures out how to organize forks from spoons.   
   But, for some odd reason, most people can't organize browsers from editors.   
      
   Go figure.   
   --   
   The kind of people who post to Usenet are a dying breed of people who   
   prefer to learn from others & to edify them with their mental largesse.
