Version: 23.4 RC1
Revision: 65 Build 135
Reorganize Start Menu and IE Favourites quickly.
OS compatible: Windows XP
Service Packs: SP2 and SP3.
Introductions: As I was installing applications, tools and opening files or executable, I was boiling to put my Start Menu and Favourites organized! But, I hate to waist my time looking through all of the registry and other subfolders! So, I decided to use my ‘VBscript’ skills to invent a source that would delete the following keys after reboot. *Sigh* what a drag…
After three days strolling through my VBS – Library, I’ve snipped some codes from my old scripts and attach them to my new script. This will reduce my time and stress to create a very simple utility that would sort these following categories. However, once you have executed the script, you have to reboot your computer! But, don’t worry; the registry folder will regenerate when you click on the ‘Start’ icon – after reboot. Still, this script is un-compatible with Windows 2000 and Server edition – Tuff luck guys!
