Display of Program Files

Hello,

When I Click on Start, Programs, 3 rows of programs comes up but the 3rd column on the right side is cut off. Half is on the screen and half is off on the right side. I know its not my monitor as I have tried various settings... Please help if you can. Thanks and have a wonderful day!!

While I'm unsure if playing with a font [type or size] wouldn't effect this, I do know that if you have unusually long names on any of the folders and you rename them [only he one with long names are necessary] to shorter names, the colums will shrink to fit the screen. Another option is to organize your folders. Make your own folders, with shorter names, that make sence to you. Move appropriate folders into them [talking about the one on the startbutton menu]. For example I have all my office related folders moved into a folder named "Office ", all my game related folders are moved into a "Games" folder, etc. You get the idea.

You also have the option of using "scroll" for the startmenu\programs folder. This gives you one list to tab or scroll through. Some prefer it this way. That's an option found by right clicking on the startbutton menu next to your log off options and selecting "properties "\startmenu\customize button. Scroll is one of the items on the options to be checked or unchecked.

 

Reads like you need to create some Folders and put related stuff into them.
For example.

Create a folder named " Games" then Drag-N-Drop all game related stuff into it.

I myself then Drag that folder to the top of the Start Menu.

Also making Program names shorter will work.

I just took a peek and it looks like I gotta start draging some stuff around. I have very close to a 3rd column AGAIN.

Hi joezep (Ran)....Try right clicking on desktop. Click properties, then appearance, then advanced, then in item click menu. Try changing your font size to 9 or smaller then what you have and this should also lower the item size. Click ok, then apply, then ok again. See if this works. Let me know if you can....Good Luck
