A quick tip I've just discovered and wanted to share with you. In a previous post I mentioned the ability to get an overview of your start menu using the +/- buttons, however it gets much better than that.
Now, before I go any further I want to point out that I have since found out that by holding the control key and using your mouse's scroller, you can achieve the same.
Organising the start menu is an extremely simple task. In zoomed in mode, drag any tile from its current position into the 'group' and position you'd like it to appear. Simple as that. If you want to create a brand new group, position the tile so that it hovers between two groups, or at the very end of the list of tiles. You'll know when you're in the correct position by a thin long grey highlighted box to suggest a new group will be created.
But it gets better still! Now zoom out. Right click on a group and click on Name Group. Such a simple thing which come to think of it, I'm surprised with myself I hadn't previously questioned its existence. Prior to this I had my groups all laid out, but had memorised which group contained which function (i.e. communications, news, productivity, games, etc.).
The final tip is that whilst in overview mode, you can drag and drop groups to reposition their priority if you feel at a later date you're using a group that's less easily accessed on a more frequent basis.
