Lightbulb Sort your start menu alphabetically

I just posted this to the Hacks Wiki, but i figured i would post it here as well, since not everyone looks at the Wiki.

This hack will sort the Start Menu on your phone

1. Start up your Registry Editor program. Resco is one of a few programs that will allow you to edit your Registry.

2. Find the following: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartM enu

3. Open the item called Order

4. Currently, it probably has entries for the first 15 items in your start menu.

5. I delete everything with the exception of Active Sync.lnk.
The reason that I leave Active Sync.lnk in the list is because the phone doesn't like the list to be empty, and since Active Sync.lnk is the first alphabetically, I leave that one there. If you would prefer to have something else listed first, even though it will not be alphabetical, go ahead and use that one instead. One thing about this, Folder items like Accessories, Bluetooth, Games, and System Tools, will be sorted alphabetically at the bottom of the list.

I hope this helps some of you. I know it used to drive me nuts not having my Start menu sorted Alphabetically.
