Scrolling Start/Programs menu

[John B]

When I click Start then Programs I get two Down arrows at the bottom of the menu (like office 2000 applications). How do I switch this off so that I see ALL the options instead of waiting for windows to wake up??
I have tried setting scrolling off and on in the properties for teh start bar and nothing seems to solve it.

There is a option called Personalized menus in the taskbar properties,
uncheck the same.

John;
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button | Advanced tab |
Scroll down to and UNCheck both of these
 *Scroll Programs |
 **Use Personalized Menus
OK | Apply | OK

[*Specifies whether to display the items on the Programs menu as one long
scrolling menu or as
horizontal pages. Depending on your screen resolution, if you have more than
29 or 38 programs
installed, and you select to have one long scrolling menu, you can access
the programs you don’t see
by clicking the arrow at each end of the list of programs.]

[**Specifies whether to turn on Personalized Menus.
Personalized Menus keeps the Programs menu clean by hiding items you haven't
used recently, while still keeping other programs easily accessible. You
can gain access to hidden programs by clicking the down arrow at the bottom
of the Programs menu.]
