[resolved] "All Programs" list not showing all

**Spatcher** · 07-21-2005, 11:34 AM

I know this is probably easy for you guys, but I can't figure it out. Right now I have two columns of programs on the All Programs list, and both are filled. But each time I d/l and install something new, it puts it on the second list, but way far down so I can't see the whole thing. Like, I can see the top part of the icon, no words, and move over it and see what is in that folder, but can't see the whole folder!!!

I have WinXP Home SP2 if that helps

(do I need to post a screenshot or...)

everytime you add something new to the list, it will add it to the end. What you need to do is remove some unused, or unneeded items from the list, or organize some items into folders, so that your programs list is not so large.

By folders what do you mean? How can you add folders to the All programs list??

rightclick your all programs, and go down to explore, left click explore. From there you can organize your all programs list anyway you like.

Well that method only shows a few of my programs, but how about this....

Is there any way to add another column?

My dad has his programs list extending for 4 columns...

Hey Henry, I had the same problem and this worked for me, think it will do the trick.

Right click the taskbar > properties > start menu tab > customize > advanced tab > scroll down and put a check in scroll programs and ok your way out.

I tried that too, but I think I got it. I messed around with it and somehow I made it expand into 3 columns.
