Program Files (Start Menu) Auto-hiding

[Pat]

I am using the Classic Windows settings. When you go into
the Start Menu, then into either Program Files or Recent
Documents, there's a little down-arrow that you can click
on to expand into the "less used" shortcuts. Is there any
way to turn this "auto-hiding" off? This also happens
when I use Word, PowerPoint or Excel (in the File, Edit,
Format menus, etc).

Thanks in advance.

Right click the Start button and select Properties / Customize Button.
Remove the check mark from the Scroll Programs option.

In the MS Office programs, select Tools/Customize/Options Tab. Place a check
mark in the "Always use full menus" option.
