Hi
I understand that you like to expand the start menu programs to fill it by more items.
I suggest downloading the following free launcher program. It's very small but has many features.
http://www.cylog.org/files/tbox278.zip
Unzip the file run the toolbox file & start creating a new toolbox. You can see the new toolbox on your desktop. (Size can be adjusted by right clicking on the toolbox to change the properties).
Now all what you have to do is to drag & drop any executable programs inside the toolbox. Fill it with unlimited programs without feeling anymore silly.
You can arrange your programs by creating many toolboxes on your desktop since the toolbox accept folders (Shortcut), drives, printers etc…
Enjoy.
