I think the best way to speed up start menu would be to have less icons in it! and use sub-folders to contain most of the icons, Here's My OEM folders/Icon set i use in my ROMs if you like it use it, You'll need to edit your initflashfiles or provxml files to copy your program *.lnk's to the sub-folders this oem will make enjoy below is the main folders it will make in start menu see the initflashfiles.txt for full list of icons it places around other folders

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Accessories")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Accessories.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Addons")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Addons"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Addons.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Connections")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Connections"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Connections.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Games")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Games.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Multimedia")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Multimedia.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("MyApps")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MyApps"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\MyApps.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Navigation")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Navigation"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Nav.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Phone")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Phone"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\Phone.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\System.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Tools")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\tools.lnk")

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

sorry for being a noob here... but can somebody explain or point me to definitions of these terms that you guys use?

No idea what a SYS, XIP, ROM, etc.. is? I've used BuildOS before to flash a custom rom onto my old HTC Apache.. but pretty much just used the options available in BuildOs. I have the Touch Pro now and I want to get this 6.5 beta rom onto it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Re: WM 6.5 Kitchen QVGA and VGA Developer Edition
 

The SYS is pretty much the Operating system files and such, and the XIP is the core files of the operating system. By porting an XIP from a newer device, we can put newer versions of windows mobile on our devices that we normally would not be able to do with the Stock/Manufacturers/Carriers ROMs.

And last but not least, the ROM is the entire finished product that is flashed to the ROM of your device and runs as the operating system that you custom built by changing the XIP and the SYS files from a newer ROM and adding/removing other things from the SYS folder as you wish.

This is a very basic and simple explaination, but if you still need a better explaination, just send me a PM or reply to this post and I'll write it better when I feel a little better. Right now I'm a bit tired and in pain due to a recent car accident.
