Changing programs in start menu

[Mark G.]

When I click start and then program, all my programs and their respective
folders are shown as typical, but rather than scrolling down to see all of
them, they go to the side. After you get so many programs installed, you can
no longer see some of them. How I can default this back to the old way where
it scrolls down? Thanks.

I just ran into this solution to what seems the same problem in
another newsgroup. The poster providing the solution was Wesley
