In Windows Vista and 7, programs are listed under Start>All Programs in two groups: at the top, the individual program files, and beneath them, the programs that have been placed in folders, both separately alphabetically. As far as I know, I have no choice as to which group the programs are placed in. I find it a (minor) inconvenience having to go through two groups to find a particular program.
Can I decide whether a program is placed in a folder, and can I sort the entire list so that is one alphabetical list?
