1. Open the Start menu. Right-click the All Programs command. From the shortcut menu, choose Open. You’re about to create subfolders that will show up only when you are logged on. (If you want to make a change that affects everybody with an account on this computer, then choose Open All Users from the shortcut menu instead.) In any case, the Start Menu Explorer window appears. Figure 1-13: Some All Programs menu items have submenu folders and subsubmenu folders. As you move through the layers, you’re performing an action known as “drilling down.” This phrase shows up a lot in manuals and computer books—for example, “Drill down to the Calculator to crunch a few quick numbers.”
2. Open the Programs folder. Its contents are arrayed before you, as shown in Figure 1-14. 3. In the window toolbar, click “New folder.” Or, if your right mouse button hasn’t been getting enough exercise, right-click a blank spot in the window, and then choose NewÆFolder from the shortcut menu. (Or just press Shift+Ctrl+N.) 4. When the new folder appears, type a folder name and then press Enter. Close the window, if you like.
