Q.
When I hit the START, ALL PROGRAMS I only get one column of programs. How can I
spread them out to multiple columns?
A.
Right-click on the
Start button and select the Properties option. On this screen, there are
two options, "Start menu" and "Classic Start menu", both options have a
"Customize..." button next to them, but only the option that is currently
selected will have an active "Customize..." button. Click on the "Customize..."
button that is active (i.e. not grayed out). If the "Start menu" option was the
select option in the previous dialog box, then click to the Advanced
tab.
If the "Start menu" option was selected in the previous dialog box, then there
is a list of checkboxes labeled "Start menu items:" on the Advanced tab. If the
"Classic Start menu" option was selected, then there is a list of checkboxes
labeled "Advanced Start menu options:".
Whichever
list of checkboxes is available to you, scroll down the list to the checkbox
labeled "Scroll Programs" and uncheck the box. Click the OK button, followed by
the Apply button, and then click the OK button, again.
Once these steps are complete, the All Programs list will appear in multiple
columns, but only after enough items have been added to the list to cause it to
fill up the entire first column. Therefore, you may not see a difference unless
you were having to scroll to get to some of the programs in the All Programs
list before.
