OT: Windows XP Start/Programs

[Dave Labrecque]

I can't find the option to show all the program groups at once on my new laptop. It's only showing the most recently used programs, and a little double-down-arrow I can click on to expand the list. What a pain. Anyone?

Right click on the taskbar... choose Properties and turn OFF Use Personalized menues. I think that is the one that does that... of course this is also when following my tweaks idea to shutdown all the XP fancy stuff and themes.

Silly me. As soon as I'd posted that it occurred to me to try Google. Duh. Gawd, I love Google.

Here's some enlightening info. "Use personalized menus" is the option I was looking for (to turn it off!).

That is all.
