Hello,
I have just started using Win XP and I am so lost. I have a million questions but 2 will do for now.
How do I get rid of programs from the start menu/programs? In 98 I could go to the start menu advanced tab and had options to add or remove programs. In xp when the style is set to classic I can do that but it's not showing me all the programs that are on the tab, it seems to be taking them from the documents and settings/ruth/start menu/programs instead of the all users folder. Not sure when I got my own logon since I am the only user but at some point I remember having to do something. Anyway, when I check the regular xp style for the start menu I can't get to any place that says add/remove programs from start menu. So, can I go to that all users start menu programs folder and just delete them? Aren't they all just shorcuts?
And, one other question, how do I prevent programs from being added to the start menu? I don't seem to ever get that option when installing a program [or re-installing it] The installer just says x program added to start menu.
Thanks for the time, and if there is a better place to post for a really really don't know how to do anything in XP user please let me know.
