When I select "All Programs" in the Start menu, the list of programs all
appear in one column. This remains true even as new programs are added; that
now I have to point to up and down arrows and scroll throught the list.
In an earlier PC, I remember that the All Programs list would appear in two
panes, not just one, making it easier to see all programs and quickly select
any in the list. How do I restore this feature? |

The classic view is still available. Right click the taskbar, select
properties, start menu tab.

Try this:
Rightclick on Start button > Properties > Start Menu tab > Customized...
button > Advanced tab > Under "Start menu items", scroll down and uncheck the
box before "Scroll Programs" > OK button > Apply button > OK button.

Try creating folders in the list (it works just like a Windows Explorer
window). Then drag your program shortcuts into the folders. That will
allow the list to have fly outs where your programs can be organized
into categories (productivity, graphics, games, Internet etc).
If you prefer the Windows Explorer interface you can edit the "all
Programs" list using the "Explore all" and "Explore user" options on the
"Start" button's context menu (right click the button). |
