Start Menu Order History

When items are moved around your Start Menu, it makes a separate memory of their names and their positions. This option clears the whole history of the Start Menu items and resets them to alphabetical order. For "Recent Documents", this memory is automatically cleared by the above option to prevent recent documents menu order being stored.
