...changes to the start menu. "Itsdigger" has provided a good option, and many use Classic Shell to make their start menu appear like older versions of Windows, but it appears like Microsoft has added some changes in their big new update and one of those changes is the ability to move some programs/apps into folders. Until it's available for all to see, who knows whether it will be liked but it appears like it's not going to help a lot.

I just thought I'd pass it along.
