Hidden Items in the "Start Menu": How to get ridden?

[Alexandre Heil Franca]

Hi there!

I am trying to change the setting to "hide the items of the Start menu
that aren't used frequently" of Menus under the "Start Menu" (these
items are shown just when you press the arrow at the bottom of the
menu). It is annoying to press it so many times, once I have many
programs installed and not all of them are used that often!
Or is there maybe the possibility to change the elapsed time to an
item to get hidden?

If anyone know the answer for these questions, I would be grateful.

Thanks!

Alexandre

Right click the Start button, select Properties, Customize and uncheck Use
personalized menus. Also, it wasn't necessary to cross post this to so
many groups.
