Tips & Warnings
Only utilize shortcuts for applications you use on a regular basis. Cluttering your "Start" menu with lots of shortcuts will make it too cumbersome to be useful. Keep in mind that most mobile devices have a relatively small screen, so it doesn't take many shortcuts to clutter up your "Start" menu.
Follow the same process to remove an unneeded shortcut, but remove the check mark in the box next to the application you wish to remove.
Once your "Start Menu" has eight entries or more, the menu will shift to the center of the display so that all other "Start Menu" items are still visible. Once there are 11 entries or more, you will see scroll arrows, which will allow you to move up ad down the list. While this is not a bad thing, many users are surprised by the change.
