When you install new programs, Windows XP adds them to the end of your ‘All Programs’ menu, rather than inserting them in the correct alphabetical order. So, in your ‘All Programs’ Menu, you might find that, after installing and uninstalling many applications, items appear in a seemingly random order. After some time, it becomes difficult to find a program that may be hidden somewhere in a maze of program folders and files. There is thus a necessity to regularly re-sort the menu items in alphatical order.
So, How to Sort the Windows XP ‘All Programs’ menu by name?
It is very simple:
1. Click “Start” -> “All Programs”.
2. Right-click on any entry in the “All Programs” menu.
3. Choose “Sort by Name”.
The menu items are then displayed in alphabetical order – first the folders in alphabetical order, then individual programs in alphabetical order. This naturally makes it easier to find an application.

I’ve been struggling for days, trying to start Apache in the Xampp Control Panel on my laptop. I was always getting a message:
Busy…
Apache started [port 80]
At the end, I discovered that my Skype program was configured to use port 80 as an alternative for incoming calls. When I unchecked that option, everything was fine. I am now able to start Apache, without problem.
I felt it necessary to share this, in case somebody comes across the same problem.

Many people who want to develop web sites without hand-coding the HTML use specialised HTML Editors such as Dreamweaver, Frontpage etc… which are considered as expensive.
While searching for an affordable software which could real help real beginners who know nothing about HTML to design professional websites without writing a single line of HTML code, I was impressed by an HTML Generator called WYSIWYG Web Builder, developed by Pablo Software Solutions. You simply drag and drop objects to the where you want to position them on the web page, and in a fraction of time, you get a web site, ready to be published to your web server.
For a cost of $39.95, this product is obviously a winner. Interested? Buy WYSIWYG Web Builder 5.
