With the Classic Start Menu, both of these need to be UNChecked.
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button |
Scroll down to and UNCheck both of these:
 Scroll Programs * |
 Use Personalized Menus **
Click OK | Click Apply | Click OK
[*Specifies whether to display the items on the Programs menu as one long
scrolling menu or as horizontal pages. Depending on your screen resolution,
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.]
[**Specifies whether to turn on Personalized Menus.
Personalized Menus keeps the Programs menu clean by hiding items you haven't
used recently, while still keeping other programs easily accessible. You
can gain access to hidden programs by clicking the down arrow at the bottom
of the Programs menu.]

This seems like it would be easy to change, but I can't figure it out. I
use the "classic start menu" and want to know how to change the
preferences so that all programs/folders show when I click
Start-Programs, rather than only showing recently used programs first and
then having to expand it to show all programs in the menu.
