"All Programs" panel too low
When I cclick on "Start" "All Programs", the resulting panel is too
low (off the page). I can not see the program on the bottom line (or there's a faint hint there may be a line below the last one I can read). AFAIK, my screen is adjusted properly - the desk top and any other programs I use or read appear to be properly centerd on the screen (both horizontally and vertically). In this case, "google" did not help me. Any suggestions? Thanks! _________________________ John _________________________ "God is dead" -- Nietzsche (1844-1900) "Nietzsche is dead" -- God |

"All Programs" panel too low
What you see is normal when you have too many. Group them. As an example Create a
folder named Office and put all Office related programs in there then create one named Graphics or Photo and put related programs in there and on and on. I have more than 100 in mine and it consists of 10 folders and is only 6 inches long -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

However, I have only 59 items in two columns - I remember that once upon a time I had three columns, and no "hidden lines".

Maybe Windows is keeping your programs list "clean" for you. It will only show you the 5 most recently used programs by default. It won't start any higher than the top of the Programs section by default. How rude. If you are using the Classic Start menu, right click the Task Bar, Properties, Start Menu, Customize, uncheck Use Personalized Menus at the bottom (click the ? on these options to read about them). Also uncheck Scroll Programs. Apply, OK, OK, etc., etc. Mine takes a minute to apply everything. If you are not using the Classic Start menu, still find the Scroll Programs under Properties, Advanced and turn it off. The Use Personalized option doesn't exist here. Now see what that does for you. You may have to experiment. The worst option I think would be to change your screen resolution, but I think maybe this will get you going now that you understand it better (I hope). |
