Guest JBL Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Where can I uncheck the box to get rid of the smart menus. Those arrows that hide little used menu items. Just got 20" wide screen so have all the room for full menus. Thanks Joe

Check Always show full menus. If you're talking about XP, right click Start and select Properties. Click Classic Start menu and then the Customize button. Uncheck Use Personalized Menus. -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply.

I don't know whether it picked up the preference from 2003 or not, but even clean installs don't have that as a default any longer. It took long enough... -- Terry R. ***Reply Note*** Anti-spam measures are included in my email address. Delete NOSPAM from the email address after clicking Reply.
