This is what I like. Can we make this happen all the time?
It saves space and doesn't kill the entire screen. I only put 3 things in my start menu, 5 including "Settings" and "Programs". Then everything in Programs is all organized by folders instead of them all together.
I have:
"Explorer" (Resco)
"NetFront"
"iGuidance"
--------------
"Programs"
"Settings"
That Recent Items list is Clutter and is nasty. There is no need to display 15 recently opened items.
