I think you're seeing WinXP being helpful. In particular, the "Start menu contains shortcuts to the programs you use most often." To change the number of shortcuts displayed, try this:

1. Right-click on the "start" button and select Properties.
2. Select the "Start Menu" tab.
3. Assuming the (not Classic) Start Menu button is selected, click Customize.
4. Under Programs, try lowering the number to 0.  Then OK your way out.

Every time you use a program, it adds another shortcut to the Start menu?

So in a week you get several hundred shortcuts added (I probably start
Firefox alone 40 times a week)?

Thanks.
