A lot of folks prefer to have this list of all the programs installed on
their computers scroll off the bottom to avoid blocking out a big chunk of the
desktop screen when the All Programs display gets spread out to the right in
columns. Both preferences can be found by right-clicking on Start and then
selecting Properties. This brings up a box that lets users customize the Taskbar
at the bottom of the screen and to make a few changes to the Start display as
well.
Under the Start Menu tab, look for the Customize button in the tabbed menu that appears. In the display
that this generates, click on the Advanced tab.
This presents a number of settings that users can change. Go down the list until
you see the item Scroll Programs. Remove the check mark, and the program list
will branch out in a second column when you click on Start and then select All
Programs.
