Tom AZ Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 In Windows XP, when I click on "Start" -> "All Programs," I get a display of three columns of programs in alphabetical order -- but it's not all of my programs. For some reason, it's limited to three columns. Because these are in alphabetical order, it's now displaying programs through the letter "S," but that's it -- nothing beyond. I'm not sure why this is happening, but how do I get ALL of my programs to display? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 First of all, all programs does not create these "All programs" folders. Secondly, they are listed there, but they go over the screen and are hidden. With some themes, the list is more shrinked and you will see more folders/programs.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 22, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2008 To change the Start Menu to scroll programs like seen in other versions of Windows, and which is necessary if you have too many programs do display on screen: 1. Right click the Start button and select Properties. 2. Click Start Menu (tab)->Customize (button)->Advanced (tab). 3. Scroll down until you see Scroll Programs, then tick it. 4. Keep clicking OK to exit the settings. 5. Now see how the Start Menu is now in a long scrollable row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I use SlanXP theme and with it i can see 4 columns of programs. That scrolling thing is nice, but somewhat slow to use, if you have many programs. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Didn't know about that. Thanks, I'll give it a try. How many of those programs do you actually use? Before I ran a FORMAT on my XP Pro system I had just about the max displayable applications. Now I have about one and two thirds displaying the applications I use regularly.

Even with my reading glasses on that image is fuzzy and when I click on it it takes me to an upload page "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." - Albert Einstein IE7Pro user Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can see, that there's 4 columns of programs visible. I mean, that with most themes i can't see all my programs, but with SlanXP they are all visible.
