Start menu

[Guest]

When I click on the start button, I get a message about there are too many
items to fit on the start menu, and that's not right, there are only about 6
of them. It says I should use smaller icons or get rid of some of the items.
How can I convince this crazy computer that I DON'T have too many items on
my Start Menu?

That message is based on your screen resolution and the amount of items in
the Pinned part of the Start Menu (the list on top left).

If you have 6 items to be placed on MRU list (bottom left list), but you
have pinned many items on the top, there is not enough room on the bottom
for the six items. This goes hand-in-hand with screen resolution and the
height of the Start Menu.

The higher the resolution (1024x768 and up), the more items can be placed on
the Start Menu.

Too many items in the start menu (XP Start Menu only).

Right click the Start button | Properties | Start Menu tab | Customize
button | General tab | Reduce the number for Number of programs on Start
menu

Number of programs on Start menu
[[Specifies the maximum number of programs to display in the most frequently
used programs list on the Start menu. You can increase or decrease the
number. ]]
