"Personalized Menus" unable to deactivate

[A Brown]

In the Microsoft Office 2000, I am unable to deactivate the "Personalized
Menus".

That means the "Personalized Menus" is always on regardless if I check
marked or not of
taskbar/properties/start menu/classic start menu/customized/Advance start
menu options/
[ ] use personalized menus

Most of my command lines menus are shortened and hidden.

I am using Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Office 2000.

menu options/
[ ] use personalized menus

That will change the way Windows behaves, not the way Office behaves!

I think you have to do it separately for each Office application (Word,
Excel etc.)

In Office 2003 (Word) you do it like this (and I guess Office 2000 is
similar):
right-click the tool bar (not the start bar!)
Choose customize
Click the options tab
Check the box "Always show full menus"

I have used Office 2000 and know that the setting applies for all Office
apps and does not have to be changed in each Office program in Office
2000 up to Office 2003. In Office 2000, however, instead of checking
"Always show full menus", you have to un-check "Use personalized menus".
