Program Group Sorting Order Under Windows NT

ID: Q110183

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

SUMMARY

Windows NT sorts groups by group type (common groups or local groups), and then sorts again within these types. The first group type listed is Common groups. Common groups are sorted alphabetically. The second type of group listed is Personal Groups. These groups are sorted numerically by the group number.

The group number information is stored in the registry at:


   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current\Program
   Manager\Groups

WARNING: Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system- wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of the Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk. You can change the order of the Personal groups by changing the string associated with the group number.
