Hi, when I install new program, I will get message when I go to start and all
programs that says there is not enough room to display all programs and to
make icons smaller or unpin some items. I don't understand! would appreciate
input, thanks! TM-Kennewick,Wa

Rt Click Start>properties>start menu tab>customize>select small icons.

Check "unpin programs" under "help and support".

I would create new folders in the Start Menu locations to group similar
program folders.

Start Menu Locations
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Start Menu\Programs

the brightest crayon huh? if you have time, another response would be
appreciated. I couldn't find where to do it. Thanks sooooo much for your
help! TM

Hi! I can't believe the help! thanks! I got the scroll part and now I can at
least see all that's there, much appreciated. I don't get the folder part but
will work with it again. Do I go to the c drive under my computer and go
from there? I sure appreciate the responsed I've gotten.Thanks so much! TM

You're welcome.

What I meant about the folders is that you should consider reorganizing your
Start Menu. If you go to these following locations:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Start Menu\Programs

and create a new folder and place other similar folders into the newly
created folder. For example, if you create a folder called "Microsoft" and
moved any folder for Microsoft Office, Microsoft Games and etc into the
newly created folder called "Microsoft". This should reduce the size of your
Start Menu.
