Right click on Start and choose Explore. You can then manage it with
Windows Explorer.

Right click on start menu/properties/costomize/advanced and in the bo
with scroll bar choose "scroll programs". That will take care of th
cascading menu. I found mine was cascading off the screen and
couldn't access some of my programs
