Program list from "PROGRAMS" in START MENU

J

When clicking on PROGRAMS in START menu, a window opens
identifying "all" the programs installed. However, the
window is not large enough to include all the programs.
It stops at "P" (arranged in alphabetical order). How do
I enlarge the window or view all the programs on my
computer other than going to Explorer???

Thanks, in advance,

There are a couple of different ways to accomplish this.

1. Right click the Start button and select Properties/ Customize button /
Advanced tab. Scroll down to the "Scroll Programs" option and select it.
This will place all of the menu items in the All Programs menu onto one
column and place an arrow at the bottom on the list which will allow you to
scroll through the entire list.

2. Right click on All Programs and select Explore All Users. This will open
the All Programs folder in Windows Explorer. Create sub-folders in the All
Programs folder to hold different categories of all these shortcuts and drag
the appropriate shortcuts into these folders. These sub-folders will have a
"flyout" menu that will display their contents when you click them.

Example: Create a sub-folder named Imaging and drag all of the shortcuts to
programs that are associated with images, pictures, picture viewers, etc
into this sub-folder. This will reduce the size of the All Programs list
significantly.
