After a while, your Start menu will begin to fill up. When you have so many programs on the Start menu that it takes a few minutes just to locate the one you want to use, you will probably want to delete some of the programs that you seldom use. Many of us place our most-used programs in desktop folders and don't really need to have them duplicated in the Start menu. The easiest way to get rid of some of these files is to right-click on Start and choose Open All Users. When the window opens, you can select the programs you want to delete and press Delete.
The icons in the Start menu should be shortcuts. However, some programs might actually install themselves in the Start folder. So, make sure that the icons you're deleting are shortcuts. Any icons that are not shortcuts you need to keep.
By the way, this is one reason to not get rid of those little shortcut arrows. If you use TweakUI, it's best to select the arrows, or at least the light arrows.
