@ Fuego,
That was a good idea, thanks is on it's way once I can post from a PC.

I really liked your idea and took it a bit further to my liking. Since I had 30 start menu items plus the 4 folders, I moved some items into the accessories folder and at the same time, pulled out some things from my games folder and system tools folder..... ending up with 28 items and the 4 folders.

Instead of numbers, I used a-z, thus the reasoning for having only 26 ( IE and Settings can't be renamed and is ahead of the a) and moving some others into the accessories folder.
I then put 4 spaces between the alphabet letter and the name, so as to seperate it a bit from the alphabetical letter but still keeping it close enough for icon association.

Looks absolutely perfect IMO... Thanks again for the idea. And since it is in grid view, I now have no real need for SmartTookKit, except the screen capture option, but I'm sure there are other screen capture programs out there.

Yeah me did, and me likey...LOL

Thanks for making me think that there were files hidden because I might not have even thought about it since the registry only had 15 listed, and I just thought it was another Windows Mobile quirk.... that is until you seemed surprised that only 11 was listed. That's when I knew some must be hidden, like I said I never bothered to try and look....I'm glad I got this done...perfect to how I'd like it, and I can live with a small a after the icon, since there is a big A before as well, and I can easily see the name ...so it's all good.

Thanks to you all. I need to get a better registry editor...I am using Total Commander which isn't letting me see the text in the "Order" key...it is all coming up as Hex.

As soon as i get Rescu, I'll use the numbering scheme!

Thanks again!

so I guess there is no way to sort them without being in alphabetical order? All I want to do is edit the first 8 or so!

I wish their was some other way, but I'm skilled enough to come up with anything else.

yea there is, with a registry editor go to the Start Menu and manually rearrange them, power cycle the phone and they are in the order you put them. (i believe there is a limit in this manually sorting, folders will always be last and from what i remember it will only sort the first 15)
