This is less of an ssh question and more of a pageant or even windows XP
question but I figure someone here may know how to do what I want.

I have about 100 saved sessions in putty. I use pageant for
authentication and have it running in the system tray. When you right
click on the pageant icon and select the "Saved Sessions" submenu, it
can take a long time to scroll through 100 items. Is there a way to
either speed up the scrolling, or better yet to make it use a
non-scrolling multi column menu instead of the single column scrolling one?

TIA

I have a folder with shortcuts to my saved sessions. The target for
the shortcut is C:\<puttydir>\putty.exe -load <session>
Replace <puttydir> with the path to putty and <session> with the name of
the saved session. I use the same name for the shortcut as the session.

Sorry for this piece of blatant self advertising, but you might find it
useful...
The program provides a popup menu of putty sessions from a tray icon. It
also loads any specified ppk files into pageant. It lets you create a
tree structure of session categories. I'm up to 168 putty sessions and I
use this every working day.
