Can anyone tell me how to rearrange the icons in the Start Menu on the SDA/2125. I wanted my main things on the first page (Messaging, Sirius, Calendar, Camera, Opera, etc.) and then ClearVue and the rest of the apps on the 2nd page, 3rd page, etc. I searched here and on google but no luck. Thanks

What i did: I created folder for app groups (like multimedia, tools, productivity); then I left the apps I use most outside the folder. I had 9 spots, so I made 7 folders, and had 2 apps (messaging and explorer).

Now I don't need to do more each time to browse through an endless list of apps, I see 7 clearly marked groups and the 2 apps I use most. Perfect for me.

I did this by editing the registry. Specifically, the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SHELL\StartMe nu

Within that key is a text value named "Order" that contains the menu items. I changed it to mirror what I wanted. I did notice that this is a sensitive area, as adding too many here caused it to default to an alpha sort. It might be necessary to play around with it to get it just right.

Edit: Not sure why the "StartMenu" listed above shows up as "StartMen u" when I view this on my browser. If it does this the same for others, note that it is one combined name.
