   Many programs will temporarily appear on the start menu when you run   
   them. This is one of several Windows MRU (Most Recently Used) functions.   
   Simply click the "start" button, right click the shortcut and click "Pin   
   to Start Menu".   
      
   You can organize shortcuts on the "All Programs" menu by right clicking   
   the start button and clicking "Open" or "Explore" on the resulting   
   context menu. You can drag or right drag shortcuts to the "Programs"   
      
   You can also set the task bar to show the Quicklaunch menu and drag   
   shortcuts to it. Note that unless you have reversed your mouse button   
   settings a left drag moves a shortcut (IF source and destination are on   
   the same drive/partition) while a right drag offers a context menu with   
   options to move OR copy the shortcut. The Quicklaunch menu is an   
   additional list of shortcuts that, when enabled, normally appears next   
   to the "start" button. If you have more than a FEW shortcuts on the   
   Quicklaunch menu you might need to click the little ">>" at the end to   
   see the full list.   
      
   The task bar also has an option to show a "Links" menu that's a good   
   place to put a small quantity of "favorites" (shortcuts) for web pages.
