    I just installed Microsoft Office 2000 Premium (that's the version I had on CD) and I noticed that when I open my start menu, it lists all of the Office programs in a row (Word, Powerpoint, etc.), whereas on my other computer when I go to the start menu there's a section that says Microsoft Office and when you highlight it there's a sub-menu with a list of the programs. How do I set it up so they're listed in a sub-menu as opposed to in a big list on the Start-->Programs section?

    You can drag the Word, Excel, and etc.. icons to that folder and they will stay there.

    Do I do this on the Start menu? Because there is no "Microsoft Office" folder, just a list of programs? It's just less cluttered if, on the Start menu, there's an Office folder with a sub-menu of the items as opposed to just a big list of items. :)

    assuming you're in windows xp, you can edit the start menu at C:/Documents and Settings/(username)/Start Menu

    Yes, on the start menu.

    You can right click on "All Programs" and go to "Explore all users" and edit your start menu that way. You can create a folder and put the office stuff in it that way.
