Program Files

[skip]

Hi,
Before anyone says to go look up my response in Google, I would if I
knew how to articulate it correctly.
Here's my sitituation.
I am running XP Pro SP2. When I go to start, then Programs, my list
is so long it goes off the screen on the right side. Is there some
way I can scroll to the right to be able to see all the programs that
are off this screen?
Also, is there a way to remove the splash screen on boot. The one
that says Windows XP and has the small bar running across the bottom
of the screen?

Thanks for any help

if you have more than 29 or 38 programs installed, and you select to have
one long scrolling menu, you can access the programs you don’t see
by clicking the arrow at each end of the list of programs.]

used recently, while still keeping other programs easily accessible. You

Wesley,
Thank you very much for your help. It did just what I wanted it to
do. I just wish there were a pluggin under the XP Start Menu where I
can list across the screen and then scroll to the right to see the
remaining files.
