When I click on All Programs (in the Start menu) ONE column appears. There
are many programs. I must scroll up or down to access the programs not shown
on the screen. The All Programs area used to show all of the listings.

How would I have All Programs show all of the listings in one screen?

Thank you,

Thank you.

It works. However the last column (the one on the far right (as you look at
the monitor) is not wide enough to accommodate the names of the programs
there.

How do I make the last column wide enough so that the full name of the
program appears?

Edit the names displayed there to shorten them. You can't make the column
wider.

Alternatively, bkaras may want to shorten the list by creating folders there
and grouping similar items into folders.

Right-click the Desktop, click New, Folder. Name the folder, then
click/drag it to the Start menu button, hover, hover over All Programs,
drag to the location where you want to drop it.

I have ± 100 programs in All Programs and the columns are too wide. Is there
a way to narrow them of do I have to go back to one column?

Thank you,
