THIS IS A SHOUTING THREAD! →[More:]
I MANAGED TO REFORMAT MY HARD DRIVE TODAY AND AM BACK ON MY DESKTOP PC, WITH EVERYTHING RUNNING SMOOTHLY EXCEPT FOR ONE THING - MOZBACKUP DID NOT SAVE MY PASSWORDS! ARRRRGGGGHHH!!

THIS IS MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE THAN A DISASTER, BECAUSE I ONLY EVER USE A COMBINATION OF THREE OR FOUR PASSWORDS, SO USUALLY I CAN LOG IN BY USING A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, AND SOME LOGINS ARE SAVED IN DOCUMENTS, BUT IT'S SUCH A P-I-T-A TO HAVE TO KEEP LOGGING IN TO EVERYTHING.

Also, can anybody remember the name of a little free utility that allows you to condense and tidy up your Start Menu? It lets you create folders (e.g. Security, Utilities, Media, etc. whatever you want to name them) and then you drag and drop the programme icons into them to keep the Start Menu really tidy.

WHY CAN'T EVERY IDIOT IN HOSPITAL--WHO GLANCED MY WAY AND BILLED ME FOR IT--GET ALL MY INSURANCE INFORMATION FROM THE HOSPITAL RATHER THAN PLAY THIS RIDICULOUS GAME OF MAILBOX TAG? I DON'T OWN A FAX MACHINE, PEOPLE. HELL, I DON'T EVEN HAVE A LANDLINE TO PLUG ONE INTO!

I GOT STOMACH FLU OVER THE WEEKEND AND IN MY HAZE TRIED PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. NOW EVERYONE IN MY DRAGON AGE PARTY HATES MY GUTS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID. I WANTED THAT TO BE MY CARRYOVER TO THE EXPANSION GAME AND NOW IT'S TRASH AND I FEEL LIKE A GOOBER FOR EVEN BEING SO ANNOYED OVER IT.

I HAVE SO MUCH TO SHOUT ABOUT THAT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY. "SO, IS WEDDING PLANNING STRESSING YOU OUT?" PEOPLE ASK. HA, I WISH. THAT IS THE ONE EASY THING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. CHURCH STRESS, WORK STRESS, IT JUST NEVER ENDS.

jan, you might be interested in tweak UI if you're running XP. I believe it does what you want.

I HAVE NOTHING TO SHOUT ABOUT BECAUSE MY LIFE IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD RIGHT NOW FOR A CHANGE.

posted by desjardins 17 February | 21:35

DESJARDINS, SHOUTING THREADS AREN'T JUST FOR BEING ANGRY! YOU CAN BE JUBILANT AND SHOUTING AS WELL!

I, FOR ONE, AM HAPPY THAT I CONVINCED MY BOSS THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR ME TO TAKE HER LAPTOP TO THE COFFEE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER AFTER WORK TOMORROW SO THAT I CAN HAVE A MEAL WITH A FRIEND, FINISH UP SOME WORK, AND LISTEN TO FOLKY MUSIC AT THE SAME TIME!

FUCK MY LIFE!

jan, just right-click on the start button, click 'explore' and drag/drop icons to your hearts content

Thanks, dg and desjardins. I found the utility I wanted - Start Menu Organizer. It allows me to drag/drop the icons not just up and down and around the list, but into folder categories, to completely tidy up the Start Menu.
