"All Programs" panel too low

[johnn]

When I cclick on "Start" "All Programs", the resulting panel is too
low (off the page).
I can not see the program on the bottom line (or there's a faint hint
there may be a line below the last one I can read).

AFAIK, my screen is adjusted properly - the desk top and any other
programs I use or read appear to be properly centerd on the screen
(both horizontally and vertically).
In this case, "google" did not help me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

What you see is normal when you have too many. Group them. As an example Create a
folder named Office and put all Office related programs in there then create one
named Graphics or Photo and put related programs in there and on and on.
I have more than 100 in mine and it consists of 10 folders and is only 6 inches long

Thank you, Peter. This does work (because it leaves a much smaller
number of items).

However, I have only 59 items in two columns - I remember that once
upon a time I had three columns, and no "hidden lines".

Wonder if there is another reason . . . .

It is not the case anymore as it was in W98. XP does not work like that

Adjust the monitor so you see a little more black above and below the
display. That's a vertical Size setting.

Here are some other suggestions for you I posted in another group (new
here!):

A couple extra ideas.

Maybe Windows is keeping your programs list "clean" for you. It will
only show you the 5 most recently used programs by default. It won't
start any higher than the top of the Programs section by default. How
rude.

If you are using the Classic Start menu, right click the Task Bar,
Properties, Start Menu, Customize, uncheck Use Personalized Menus at
the bottom (click the ? on these options to read about them). Also
uncheck Scroll Programs. Apply, OK, OK, etc., etc. Mine takes a
minute to apply everything.

If you are not using the Classic Start menu, still find the Scroll
Programs under Properties, Advanced and turn it off. The Use
Personalized option doesn't exist here.

Now see what that does for you. You may have to experiment.

The worst option I think would be to change your screen resolution,
but I think maybe this will get you going now that you understand it
better (I hope).
