When I click "Start >Programs", my desktop is more than full that I could not see the other programs to be clicked. To organize them, I tried right-clicking "Start>Open" but it only shows 55 icons. I have more than 350. I am not sure why many do not appear. Basically I want to be able to group similar programs, like games, audio/video programs, etc. Thanks.

WOW   .....350..... It's time to clean the garage :)

Made some new folders on the desktop and drag and drop the progams you want in the 
folders...

But it sounds like you need to uninstall some you don't use any more  :).. old junk 
( programs)  is just that old junk.. :>)

"One man's meat is another man's poison" so goes an old English popular saying. You want more than 350 icons on the desktop? To me that sounds too many icons that will only end up cluttering your desktop. Not only that but each of these icon representing a particular program occupy space in memory. With so many programs,do u think you will have much space left in memory. You might. But so will the recurring "---short of memory" error messages. If I were u, I would give the desktop breathing space and populate it with around 50-80 icons. It is upto you anyways.
