Question about IE menu behavior

S

Steve

Sorry for the cryptic subject but I have a question regarding how my IE6
menu is behaving. I work from two different WinXP machines, one at home and
one at work. The IE on one machine behaves different than the other.
Specifically, when I click on the menu item, say "favorites" on one machine
I get an "abbreviated" list based on my recent usage of that menu item. When
I click on the same item on the other machine I get the complete list,
"unabbreviated". This is really only a minor annoyance but is there some
setting I've missed that causes this type of behavior? I have gotten used to
the abbreviated version and would like to have both machines operate the
same.

THANKS!

Right click the start button>properties>start menu>customise>select 'use
personalised menus'

Hmm, that option seems to appear only under the "classic" menu option, not
the "standard" WinXP option (although I didn't see any difference in IE
behaviour after setting the option). Guess I can't have it "both" ways,
"standard" menu AND "personalized menus"?

Show all the Favorites in IE, rather than displaying the most used items
only:
