Still getting used to having to use Windows XP as my main productivity tool. It is very obvious that it is a 9 year old operating system.
When installing programs they just get appended at the end of the programmes menu. This means that after a while it gets really hard to find anything unless you have fantastic spatial memory. To use the famous bucket metaphor: my bucket finally flowed over and I decided to find a solution.
After some googling it turns out you can sort the program menu alphabetically by right-clicking on an object in the menu when expanded and select "Sort by name". There is a registry hack to enable this permanently but for now I do it every time I do something new and it works reasonably well.
