From: Mr. Cheese on 10 Feb 2010 14:05 Am I dreaming. I recall there way a way to tell WinXP to display program names in columnar format when one clicks START/All Programs. Anyone recall how to do this?? Thx
From: glee on 10 Feb 2010 14:30 Not sure what you mean by columnar format.... do you mean a single scrolling list rather than multiple columns? Right-click the Start button, click Properties on the menu that appears, then click the Customize button on the Start Menu tab. Now click the Advanced tab on the Customize Start Menu sheet. In the center section, "Start Menu Items", scroll down and put a check in the box for "Scroll Programs" Click OK all the way out. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/ "Mr. Cheese" <null(a)nowhere.net> wrote in message news:OiyWaQoqKHA.5936(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...

It been many moons since I've looked at the Start button properties. Thx to all |
