I have been trying to come up with a definitive way to tell when I need to reinstall my computer and I have figured it out.  I just opened my All Programs folder in my start menu and it doesn’t all fit on my widescreen screen.  I keep running into problems where I can’t remember the name the thirty or so programs I use occasionally so this is actually a problem.

I wonder what the best way to organize shortcuts to programs is.  Would it be better to sort the short cuts by the last executed date/time so the programs I use often would end up at the top or should I group the programs into three folders based on how often I use them (often, never, occasionally).  Normally, I use launchy to run the applications I know the name of and I guess I just need to get better at using that until I have time to reinstall my laptop.
