Hi
This is probably a stupid question but I cannot find out how to do it. When
I click on Start, All Programs, a list of all installed programs appears in
4 sections and the 4th section goes off my screen (I have a lot installed
and I don't want to go out and buy a bigger monitor either!) My question
is, I want to make the programs scroll downwards - how do I do this?
Please, help someone !!

Right click on the start button, click properties, click customize, in the
bottom pane scroll down and put a tick in the box saying "scroll programs."
Another thing that I do is I take the time to make folders in the start menu
and drag shortcuts there. As I'm the only user on the PC that means I can do
so. If there's more than one user on your computer you might want to do it
in the "all users" folder instead.
