The width is set by the length of the longest item. Do a bit of editing
- right click long items and rename. Eg removing leading Microsoft, or
trailing 'Personal Edition' in long winded names.

Also if you r-click on Start and take Open or Open All users (the menu
system is the sum of the two) you can open Programs and make folders to
be sub-menus
