Upgraded to Start Menu 7 Pro

I have just upgraded from the original Start Menu 7 and I cannot see in real benefits in the PRO version. I think the PRO version is just a complicated way of organising the menu.
In the older free version I could create a folder within the menu and drag and drop other menu items into the new folder. For example I use 6 Adobe products so I would create a Parent Folder named Adobe and drag the other Adobe programs into the Parent Folder.

I could change the program order by simply dragging the program to it's new preferred location in other words I could change the program list sorted by alphabetic order to what ever I like including changing the order within a sub folder by dragging the same method. This method was also available in the original MS Windows XP, Vista and Win7.

Another very irritating feature you have is the automatic flyout menus when the mouse passes over the menu. I think it should be a single mouse click to open and then lock the menu in place and be able to re-order the selections. Many software developers put their information own blurb in the flyout ahead of the programs boot menu. I always put the least used options at the bottom of the list.

I have un-installed Start Menu 7 Pro and gone back to the the original MS Win7 Menu. A much simpler and versatile product than your Start Menu 7 PRO.
