Start Menu Folders

So I'm sure this is somewhere and I've searched and haven't found it but have a feeling I'm searching wrong thing....

I wanna take the programs in my 6.5 start menu and basically group them and have them in folders like games, System, Radio or Media. I have seen it done as a rom I had before had it set up like this. Is there a program that lets you add folders to the start menu? or is there a tweak for this?

Re: Start Menu Folders

I'm sure you could do this with file explorer.
Create the new folders in windows/startmenu.

Re: Start Menu Folders

I think resco file explorer can handle it (its 15 days trial).I testes total commander and 1 that comes with sys-no luck so far..
I think it also can be done with regtweak,let you know later

Re: Start Menu Folders

I found it, re/Start does it, Looking at the pictures and what I had read I thought it was just a organizer and icon changer....But it has a option to place them in folders, but thanks for the help

Total commander does allow this.

And just did again....

Glad you found it.
I like reStart also.
But I personally just do the reg hacks myself now.

Re: Start Menu Folders

are you using a rom w/ UC?? if you are, do a hard reset to get the icons where they will be on fresh boot. Then, give each one it's own provxml file. The xml file looks like this below and will move it from source to the specified location. The reason I say to give each link it's own xml file is so that if the link doesn't exist anymore (perhaps due to a rom or kitchen change) and the xml import fails, the rest of the icons will still be moved. If the location doesn't exist, it will be created. And if you really wanna get fancy, cab up the lnk's registry and modify the icons.

Code:

 

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="FileOperation"> 

 <characteristic type="%CE11%\Social\Facebook.lnk" translation="install">

  <characteristic type="Move">

   <parm name="Source" value="%CE11%\Facebook.lnk" translation="install" />

  </characteristic>

 </characteristic>   

</characteristic>

</wap-provisioningdoc>

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Social\Facebook.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Storage Card\\Icons\\facebook.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Social\Palringo.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Storage Card\\Icons\\Parlingo.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Social\Twikini.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Storage Card\\Icons\\twitter.png"

It seems like a lot of work at first, but once it's done, you can flash and flash again w/o having to worry about u're icon location or icons. All you have to do is setup u're order on a hard reset. Then, you can end up w/ something like this...

It was so easy with TC, I didn't load ReStart
