How Do I Make the Whole Start Menu Appear?
Q: I can't stand the way Windows 2000 abbreviates the Program menu under Start. OK, so it supposedly lists the apps I use most often, but I'm tired of clicking on the stupid arrow to see the whole thing. Isn't there a way to turn off this function?
A: Sure. In fact, putting an end to Windows 2000's personalized menus is a snap. From the Start menu, select Settings, Taskbar & Start Menu, then clear the Use Personalized Menus check box and click OK.
While you're at it, you might want to explore some of the other Start menu options. Click the Advanced tab, go to the Start Menu Settings section, and select or clear boxes before clicking OK. The options are self-explanatory, but if you need a hint about what each does, select it and press F1 for a short pop-up description.
