Program groups are collections of related software, such as pre-installed menus or office suites. They make it easier to navigate systems and can be cheaper when purchased together. Users can create custom groups by manually placing programs into designated folders.
A program group is a group of programs that are related in some way. This can include a bunch of items already installed on most computers, or a software suite with programs that help complete a variety of similar tasks. Groups can include office groups or engineering groups, as well as pre-installed sections of a computer’s main menu.
Click the “Start” menu of any Windows®-based operating system and there are more examples of program groups. For example, the “Accessories” category has a drop-down menu. On the menu are various programs within that category, including a paint program, a calculator, and other related programs.
Most software applications are also included in a program group. This can mean a whole bundle of programs that help complete related tasks, such as office software suites or a main program along with an uninstaller and added utilities. Designer software can also be contained in program groups that include basic design programs, template programs, web design programs, and others.
There are many benefits to having these groups. The most obvious benefit is that schedules are easier to find when organized into groups. Users can navigate computer systems better and with less confusion when software applications are easier to find and more easily accessible. If you understand what a program is and what it does, you can quickly locate it in its designated program group.
Another benefit involves these groups being part of a suite of packages. Purchasing multiple programs together is generally less expensive than purchasing each program separately. Program group software packages often ship on one disc rather than several, making it easier to manage the package and the disc.
Almost all programs can easily be placed in a program group. If a new program is not automatically placed in a group, groups can be created manually by placing programs and files in designated folders. This allows for full customization and better organization in creating efficient groups.
To organize a new program group, a user can right-click on the desktop and choose to create a new folder. The folder can have any name, and programs can be added by clicking and dragging them into the folder. This allows any program to be part of a group based on user preferences and requirements.
