Favorites Drop Down Menu Quetion

[Dave]

Is there a way to get the Favorites drop down menu to display immediately
when clicked rather than having to click on the chevron symbols at the
bottom?

Thx
Dave.

IE Tools | Internet Options | Advanced | Browsing | Enable personalized
Favorites (uncheck).

Thanks Pa - that was it -
One can't leave this without the observation that the expression "Enable
Personalized Favorites Menu" obviously has absolutely nothing to do with
the LENGTH of a menu list.

MS is full of people with many skills I'm sure. Unfortunately, the English
language is not one of them.

Thank you for your patience

Dave

You're welcome.

I dunno what you thought "Enable personalized favorites menu" might do but
what you were seeing is what it does: Bookmarks for less-frequently visited
webpages are not displayed at first when you open Favorites from the Menu
Bar. If you wait long enough or click on the downward-pointing chevrons,
all bookmarks will display. It's been like this for quite some time, Dave.

You wanna try navigating around Vista ! ...hideous platform ...inasmuch
that everything seems to have been moved, or you have to go through about 6
hoops to create you own shortcut for basic thing, ...and security settings
are wound up as high as they'll go !
I've had to help a few people people with Vista based machines, ...and what
a major fight to drop a new mvps.org hosts file into the etc directory -
i.e. what on earth is all this crap about permissions ? ! # ~!!!
As soon as I sit in front of one now - the procedure is select "Windows
Classic" theme | select "Classic" Start Menu,
....then things are slightly less awful.
