Start/Program menu isn't arrange alphabetically

[joe111]

In my Windows 98, the menu under Start/Program is not arranged in an alphabetical order. Some portion does and some doesn't. Now, when I install new software, it is listed at the bottom (even after I rebooted the system).
Any comment?

Yep, simply left click and drag the item to wherever you think it should be. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Or right click on any entry in the start menu and select sort by name. This will put em in alphabetical order.

Problem solved!
The comment by bdog worked beautifully.
I appreciate all your help.

Yep, that too but if you have shortcuts in the menu it throws them all to the bottom. I like to delete the BS most programs put in folders on the start menu and sometimes just leave the shortcut there instead of the folder.
Am I incorrect in thinking that every shortcut occupies a cluster on a hard drive?

Yes. Every file, no matter how small, takes at least one cluster. So if your cluster size is 32k and you have a file that only 2k, then you end up with 30k wasted space, typically called "slack space".

Multiply that by possibly hundreds (or more http://www.sysopt.com/forum/redface.gif) of tiny files and you end up with a lot of wasted space.
