Guest news.zen.co.uk Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Hi This is probably an easy fix...at least i hope it is. The problem is that normally as you hover over All Programs on the Start menu, it would bring up your list of programs. Mine has stopped doing that now, and requires a click. Pretty minor, but irritating. Anyone know if this is just a question of resetting a key in the registry, or something simple like that? Any help much appreciated! Ash

It was already set to that. Tried unsetting, and then resetting it back, but it's still the same. Ash

Guest news.zen.co.uk Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Re: Lost hover function on All Programs > Did you OK and apply on your way out? Cheers, yes, I did. No difference :( i'm wondering if it's a registry thing.
