expand all drop dwn menu

hello,
I just had this machine reformatted and the tech did not return all my old settings. I'm figuring out most of them but can not find/remember how to have my "drop down" menus fully expand.

as in "word" or "outlook" the file or edit list are abbreviated and show that double arrow at the bottom.

I prefer the full list

any help on what "setting" I need to select.....?

thanks

mike

 

Just to add to Christer's response:

Right click menu bar>Customize>Options then uncheck "Menu's show recently used commands first ". That should do it for you. Repeat in Excel, Access etc.

 

thank you, that was it.....

I have to strat a new theard for another prob...

I have no idea what this "residential gateway device" is? and i want to thump ot off my comp but it is a *.VXD program in windows system folder so i want to make sure it's ok to get rid of.

Mike

edit note - please see the Residential Gateway thread rather than putting responses to that issue in this thread. Newt
