Free Start Menu Cleaner:
Start Menu Cleaner is a freeware utility which cleans the start menu by removing unneeded shortcuts and folders. Most applications adds folders and shortcuts to the start menu. The problem is, when you remove the program, its folders and shortcuts sometimes remains in the start menu. This can make your start menu somewhat messy. Start Menu Cleaner scans all shortcuts in your start menu and removes empty folders and shortcuts which points to files that no longer exist. The result is a smaller, cleaner, more efficient start menu.
