Robert G. sent me this question:
" There appears to be a limit to the number of programs that can be
listed in the Windows XP Start Menu [start button] when using Classic
View. Is there a way to increase the number of programs that can be
displayed at one time, without having to click that double arrow at the
bottom of the Window? "
My response:
I also use the Classic View for my Start Menu ...
and it bugs me when I have to constantly click on that double arrow to show
all contents.
As far as I know, the Expand [Documents, Pictures, ... Printers] option allows you to view all contents
of a menu option that is normally collapsed, but I didn't see an option to
Expand the Start Menu. I decided to try the Scroll option, but it did
not appear to do anything to my computer at all: the double-arrows were
still there in the Start Menu.

Is there a way around this? I don't know.
The Scroll feature
doesn't seem to do anything for me when I tried it. Do you know how to
remove those double arrows -- other than clicking on them -- in order to
expand the Start Menu? Email me
your answer (below).
