Anyone know if there's a way to show the programmes under 'Start' in a preferred order? Or are they fixed alphabetically?

    Tried that already. When dragging, a red circle with a line through appears (prohibited action) and wherever you release the icon it jumps back to original position. Seems to be locked somehow. Windows XP wasn't like this.

    Start Menu>>Control Panel>>Taskbar and Start Menu option.

    If you click the start Menu tab on the window that pops up you can customise how the links,icons and menus look and behave so I would imagine you can do it there.

    If you want to return to an XP type menu, I tried Classic Shell it was better than expected and surprisingly, I've stuck with it.
    Move along, nothing to see.
