When I click on 'All Programs' the window that comes up is now full of
programs/folders etc., That is, this window fills the screen and the
last lot of software that I installed can not be seen as the window does
not scroll vertically or horizontally.

What is the answer here? Surely even crappy XP cant put a limit on how
many applications you can install (well see and access I guess) but how
can I make this window scroll to see and access all my applications?

One answer I don't see mentioned by anybody he Ditch the fancy new-look
XP start menu. First, right click "Start", choose "Properties".

Oki, at this point I should point out that I am using a Norwegian XP, and I
can not verify 100% what the english names for the appropriate buttons and
options in the next steps are. But you should now be looking at a menu where
you can select between the new fancy start menu and the oldskool classic
start menu. Now select the classic start menu, click the Options-button next
to it (this one was inactive before you selected classic). Now you should
get a menu, where one of the top items (number 2 from the top on my
Norwegian XP Home) should say something about dynamic or personal start
menus. Make sure this is checked. You may also wish to make sure the "Scroll
programs" is checked.

Now you will find that your start menu has changed to the old Windows
95-look. You will also find that when you click Programs only the recently
used applications are actually visible, unless you click the arrow at the
bottom of the menu.

You may or may not like this style of start menu. But: Cleaning up the start
menu is still a good suggestion, no matter what kind of menu you like.
