FEATURE REQUEST - grouping of pinned items (optional separators) in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Windows 10's Start menu is, in my view, a substantial failure for a host of reasons I won't bore you with just now. HOWEVER, it does have one useful feature: the ability to place pinned programs in distinct groups, like this: You can see that I've created groups called "Video and Audio Editing", "Media", "Utilities", "Programming", and so on. &n

Reply to What is this horizontal line? in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

Ah, thank you!! All I had to do was un-click "Show recently used applications" on the 'Configure' page and now it just shows the programs I've pinned.

Or some sort of start-up hook, or what? What effect would disabling this start-up entry have, exactly? I think the information given in the TweakVista Start Up screen could be improved.

IconX runs CPU at 100% in IconX Stardock Forums

Do Stardock not provide any support for paid products apart from this forum? If so, that seems a bit disappointing. I have a problem with IconX. When it is running, it bumps the CPU right up to 100% utilisation. Other applications will still run, but much more slowly. I've updated my graphics drivers to the latest WHQL-approved ones (GeForce 6600GT), and I'm running a clean, recently installed XP SP2. The high CPU utilisation is obviously not right, but I can't see
