Show Start Menu's "All Programs" in two panes

[Guest hmm]

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).
