There are too many MS Shortcuts in the All apps list that I can't either delete or park in a folder to get them out of my way, and they are all nearly useless (exceptions indicated), as far as I'm concerned:

Calc (seldom used, but useful)
Cal (never used)
Feedback (seldom used, and the messages seem to be ignored)
GET STARTED (Need I say More?)
Mail (accessed from taskbar)
Microsoft Store (Okay, that's all right)
Notepad (I get it when I need it automatically)
Paint (I only bring it up from my graphics program when I need it)
Settings (accessing that is easy a hundred other ways)
Snipping Tool (Ctrl + Shift + S)
Windows Security (taskbar icon access)
Windows Terminal (Win X menu access)

I don't know why I can't park all these shortcuts in a single folder and access them from there.

Anyone have ideas about this?

Works in 10; in 11, not so much. We don't have access to the "Open file location" shortcut in 11 for these items.

Maybe you can do it with Stardock’s Start 11.

Tell you the true looks like you have to accept the Windows 11 Start Menu, there is no way manually organizing apps in Start Menu.

Hi, Shawn,

I think I've done everything I can within the limits of the W11 All apps and Start menu layouts. The wonderful flexibility of the W7 All Programs list, where we could set up as many/few folders as we wished, and drag shortcuts from one folder to another as we wished -- that's all gone, and I'm going to miss it.
