Which desktop environment are you using? If it's Gnome, if I remember correctly, you right-click on the menu and you'll access a menu editor where you can clean it up.

yes it is gnome but that option is not there.
they must be in a file somewhere.

Thanks for the link ... don't know why I didn't think to google that.

Much appreciated.

For the record, the menu editor is alacarte. It's in CentOS, but doesn't get installed by default for some reason.

yum install alacarte cranked right on there.

thanks

I presume you have downloaded and installed the minimalist ISO.

If you plan to run it on any x11/xfce4/Gnome/KDE environment, I suggest you just to download the full ISO DVD and install it.

If you are on a i386 or AMD64, just select it from here:
http://wiki.centos.org/Download

So, just go
http://mirror.nsc.liu.se/CentOS/6.2/isos/x86_64/
and select CentOS-6.2-x86_64-bin-DVD1to2.torrent

After downloading via torrent your DVD iso, just install it.

Installing the full CentOS ISO DVD will install you a full desktop gnome running beautifully out of box without any headches.
