the window which pops up after clicking StartAll Programs which is
a white box with three columns. I have too many programs and they all do not display. How can I customize this box so I can possibly view all or more of my installed programs? TIA |

Problem displaying 'All Programs'
Create folders and group similar items.
e.g. Create folders like Apps, Multimedia, Printers etc. and move the relevant folders or shortcuts into each. You will probably have to do it for the current user and All Users by right-clicking the Start Button and first selecting Explore and later selecting Explore All Users. I keep mine down to one column. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.com/index.htm On Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:50:52 -0700 (PDT), in microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics, timOleary wrote: the window which pops up after clicking StartAll Programs which is a white box with three columns.

For example one for games, one for utilities, and another for applications. Though honestly if you have so many programs installed that you can't see them all in the startup menu, isn't it time to remove a few things? After all you aren't using all of these, right? -- Roy Smith Windows XP Pro SP3 |
