Programs Menu Taking Too Much Room?

Shrink the size of your Windows 2000 Programs Menu even if you have tons of programs installed.

Do you have a lot of software installed on your Windows 2000 machine? So much software that when you choose "Start"- "Programs", the list of available software takes up two or three columns? While some people (including myself) would suggest you uninstall software you no longer need, you probably immediately just need a better way to navigate through this list. Some people prefer only showing one column of programs in the "Start" menu with scrolling up and down arrows surrounding the column. This way, your "Start" menu does not take up half the screen.

Right-click on an empty area of your taskbar and choose "Properties". On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, click the "Advanced" tab. Now, under "Start Menu Settings", check "Scroll the Programs Menus" and click "OK".
