Is there anyway to edit what programs appear in your Start Screen?

I was wondering if you can change what programs are visible when you push the Start button?

You can go to Start, Today, Settings, Menus and select them there... however, I prefer unchecking all of those and just creating a shortcut with Resco Explorer in \Windows\Start Menu.

Pibe im slightly confused, your answer seems like two different ways to fix the same thing, but they are two entirely different things, the second part about shortcuts is correct, but what does the today screen settings have to do with anything? just wondering

If you forget about placing shorcuts in \Windows\Start Menu and go to Start, Settings, Menus, you will be presented with a list of most of your installed apps with checkboxes next to their name.

Check the box and they will be added to the start menu, uncheck the box and they will be removed. I don't like using it because some apps may not appear on that list, and apps installed manually (musicID for example) will not appear either.

Keep in mind you don't have to go the Settings -> Today (settings) but to Settings -> Menus.

I know I do

I wonder if the original poster saw this and if it was what he was looking for?

What I was talking about is when you press the start button, and all the programs that are listed there like sprint music store, etc. can you rmove the programs you dont want and add the ones you do?

Did you try the suggestion of going to Settings -> Menus?

Also, the latest apps you open will display there, those are not movable but can be deleted through apps like MemMaid and SK Tools.
