All Programs - Programs not listed

When I click on 'Start - All Programs' I notice that not all my installed programs are listed. The space for listing them is already fully occupied with other programs. Is there any way to reduce the size of the print (the program titles) so as to allow more to be listed, or is there another solution? Thank you.

 

Lugwalker--Not all programs install a shortcut in Start|All Programs. It sometimes is an option in the program's opening window (like Preferences or Options) or a part of the installation process. However, you can always add a shortcut to a program to Start|All Programs, by creating a Shortcut from the program's executable and then dragging and dropping the Shortcut on top of the Start button. You can then drag it around inside Start|All Programs as you wish.
When your Start menu gets too big, here are ideas about managing it.

Thanks, Jim. That was a great help

 

Lugwalker--thanks for posting back. Always good to learn that a suggestion helped.

 

Hello Lugwalker,

Some Programs don't have shortcuts via Windows because they are not installed via Windows. HijackThis is an example of that kind of software. The files HJT needs are contained in it's own folder and the object .exe is accessed directly. Of course, you can create shortcut to it as well and put it anywhere you wish.

Thanks, Charles. Yes, I do have programs like HJT and HDValet, etc., on my desktop which, of course, would not be on the windows list.
