SMOz - Start Menu Organizer

SMOz - Start Menu Organizer is a lightweight tool that can assist users in organizing and customizing the Windows Start Menu. The resource can export templates for later use.

Anyone not satisfied with the default Start Menu can employ this tool in order to rearrange items. Users should, however, note that the resource works well only with Windows XP, Vista and 7. Since Windows 8 comes with significant display changes, the tool will only work with that OS if a third party resource is used to create a Start Menu (e.g. Start8, Start Menu 8, Spesoft Windows 8 Start Menu or RetroUI).

The resource comes with a very intuitive interface that is geared towards efficiency. Fully exploring the program's functions is performed by browsing through the somewhat numerous menu items. A few quick-link buttons can also be used in order to issue commands.

Once started, the resource will display a hierarchical tree containing all elements currently stored in the Start Menu. A second frame is used to view the items within each folder. The resource allows users to switch to “List” or “Details” views of current entries.

Adjusting the default Start Menu is a simple Copy-Paste operation. New directories can be defined and moving shortcuts is performed either by drag and drop operations, or by choosing the “Move To” option from within the context menu.

One of the nice features of the software is that it allows users to create highly customized templates. These can be used to automatically sort items according to a predefined set of instructions. Templates are stored in a INI document and can be imported via the “File” menu.

To sum up, SMOz - Start Menu Organizer is an intuitive program that allows users to quickly move Start menu items.
