How can I place all programs in a common folder in my start menu ie word,powerpoint, outlook all appear as seperate programs can I put them into a common folder .

Start | My Computer | C: | Documents and Settings | All Users | Start Menu | Programs | Then create a new folder now you are within the Programs folder and call it Microsoft Office. Then drag and drop the programs you want into that folder. Close the window. You may need to log off and log back on to see the change. Now all of offices individual programs are stored within a single folder called Microsoft Office on the Windows XP program bar.

Alternatively you can right click on the "All Programs" entry on the start menu (or just "Programs" if you are using classic mode) and click open, then go to the programs folder and enter the details in there

Saves the longer navigation
