Does anyone know how to bring up Program Manager in Win XP SP2?

Apparently it is possible, but I’ve followed the Wiki article but it’s too confusing and I don’t have any Windows discs.

1. Start/run/progman.exe
2. This will open the Program Manager window, and you can then drag and drop your favorite programs onto it.
Some programs will not show the correct icon, so you will have to select the MS DOS icon, and FILE/PROPERTIES/ Change ICON,
Browse to the program which you just added, and select its icon. You can also chose any icon you wish -
There are may icons stored in /WINDOWS/System32/shell32.dll file.
3. Create new program groups to keep your applications organized.
4. Add Progman.exe to your Startup group to automatically start it each time you boot-up.
