You can adjust your settings to position the program at the top of the Start menu It will also keep it from being bumped by other programs, even if you use the others more frequently.

Just follow these instruction:

Right-click the link to your favorite program on the Start menu and select Pin to Start Menu

Your program will be moved permanently to the top part of the list, just below your browser and e-mail programs.
