Too many programs

[TBlove]

I have many programs on my XP desktop.When I go to Start>All Programs,I have three columns of programs listed with no more room for more.Is there a way to expand this so I can see all my programs?Did a search but didn't find an answer.

You could try grouping the programs. Like have a folder for security, a folder dor multimedia etc

That is exactly what I do... I have the standard Accessories folder and I also created an "AUDIO and VIDEO" folder, a "Security" folder, a "Programming" folder, an "IO Devices" folder and a "Home Office" folder.... if I just threw everything in the All Programs folder, It would be about two columns... it really helps!

Start > Double click programs. Then right click > new folder. And make whatever folders you want

Right click the start bar and click properties. Then click the "start menu" tab, and click customize. If your using the classic view, just scroll down the check boxes until you find it, then check the box. If your using the default xp start menu, then click customize and then advanced. Scrol down til you find the right box, and click it.

right click on any empty space on the start menu bar

I had exactly the same problem.
what I did was I looked for the file/folder under Start>Programs that had the biggest title and deleated it this shrunk all columns so now I have 4.

I'm sorry but don't quite get what you are talking about.Could you do it in steps and I'm not sure what file you deleated{biggest name} to make four colums.Thanks.
