Rightclick your start button, and click Explore. The folders there only
contain shortcuts that appear on the start/all programs menu. Delete any you
don't want.

Not true. I've seen programs actually get installed in the start menu.
The actual .exe file not a shortcut to it. Granted shortcuts are the
standard, but not the rule as Mark states.
If you want to get rid of a true .EXE file in the start menu, you have
to move it someplace else if you don't want to remove the .EXE file.

Thanks to responders for the input. Still somewhat confused - the
entry in the Start>All Programs that I wish to move or remove from the
list does not appear when I rt. click Start and open Explore - many
other programs are listed - why not all?

C:\documents and settings\bob\start menu
and
C:\documents and settings\all users\start menu
They combine on the screen as one menu.
When you right click the start menu you should see explore and explore
all users.
You'll have to check both.
But you won't see them all as one as you do on the menu.

What you see in Start | All Programs are normally just shortcuts.
Removing them does not delete the program they refer to.
To remove the entry, right-click on it and choose Delete.

There is a third party program called "add / remove pro" that will let
you do that. It's free and most likely available wherever you get your
3rd party stuff now. If you don't have a place, here's one of many that
