The Start Menu Customization

[excentric_13073]

My brother's computer, which he bought from a system builder, has Windows XP Pro installed. His "all programs" menu has an interesting and useful effect where it hides items that are not frequently used. I have tried to implement this feature on my computer, but I cannot find the settings to do so. Does anyone know A)what I'm talking about, and B)How to turn this setting on?

Thanks!

Right click on the Start button, choose Properties and select Classic Start menu.

I appreciate the response! But, that wasn't quite it. Firstly, he's got the newer start menu. But the other thing was that it only affects the "all programs" section. Like I said, it hides programs you don't regularly use, and only shows those you do. When you click a little arrow on the top, it expands out again to a full-sized list.

Don't know. Try Google.

try enabling "scroll programs" option

scroll programs is closer, but not it either. I wish I had a screen shot to help describe it all. In the classic style, it does hide some of the older programs. If I remember correctly, the programs frequently used also appeared more indented then the other lesser used ones.

IDK, I don't think I'm crazy... :? Are we?

Call the dude who built it and ask him how to enable it or if he installed something that does it
