    Well actually I can create a new folder in the start menu, I just can't rename them for some reason. Every time I try to rename the folder with some other than "New Folder," I'll have the error:

    The action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program

    Close the folder or file and try again.

    How do I get around this issue? Would be nice if I can reorganize my start menu....

    I also hope they allow you to sort with folders first, like with Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003, ad nauseum.
