How can I Organize the Start Menu without Organizing the Start Menu?

How can I Organize the Start Menu without Organizing the Start Menu?

Every time I install a program, it installs the shortcuts to the ../Start Menu/Programs directory. If you later organize the shortcuts, you break your Quick Links and Free Links. If you do an update, the program's shortcut gets installed back in the default location and you need to delete or move them. If I could just let the programs install in the default \Start Menu\Programs directory, and have something above it that could organize the display independently of the way they are stored, I would never have to change the default program's default shortcut location, and could organize and re-organize the "Start Menu" at will without breaking links. This is not a problem for Windows desktop because you don't generally have a shell above it like HTC Sense, linked to the shortcuts of the Start Menu. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

The cure would be if Sense + CHT could link to files outside of the ../Start Menu/Programs directory structure.

Thanks!

You can create folders in the menu you want, but all items are in alphabetical order order.In In addition, it is more or less the same way in Windows 7 that Start Menu All Programs - Add or remove shortcuts
