Registry Hack: Automatically Sort The Programs Menu Alphabetically

Written by Saman Sadeghi on October 28, 2006 Add comments

Before you start, please read this warning on editing the System Registry.

The purpose of this hack is to have Windows automatically alphabetize All Programs in your Start Menu. Every time you install a new program, your list will be neatly organized!

  1. Type: Windows Key+R, > regedit > OK
  2. Go to:
    HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\
    Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MenuOrder
  3. With MenuOrder highlighted, open the Edit menu (on the Tool bar), select Permissions.
    The Registry
  4. This will open the “Permissions for MenuOrder” dialog box. Click the Advanced button.
    Permissions for MenuOrder Dialog Box
  5. This will open the “Advanced Security Settings for MenuOrder” dialog box. Clear the “Inherit From Parent . . .” check box.
    Advanced Security Settings for MenuOrder Dialog Box
  6. In the security dialog box that appears, click Copy:
    Security Dialog Box
  7. Click OK to return the “Permissions for MenuOrder“dialog box, and then clear the “Full Control Access” entry for your own account and for any security groups that you’re a member of, leaving the “Read Access Control” entry in place.
    Permissions for MenuOrder Dialog Box
  8. Click OK and you’re done!
