Weird problem. My Start menu Programs list goes off my screen. i can barely
see the top of one of the icons, and i have already verifies that my monitor
is set to show everything displayed, i have a small black border around the
screen.

Any ideas?

Let me get this straight. When you go to Start\Programs and it opens then you got a list of programs that stretches all the way from the bottom to the top. Is this the case?

Yup, pretty much. I can see all the stuff up top, but the last couple icons
go off the page. Is there an option for this, because normally it would just
make another column.

Thanks

Normally it would not.

Suggest to you to make a couple of folders. As an example make one for Photo and drag all the ones that concerns
photo in there. Make one for Office and drag all that concerns Office in there. And so on. This will cut down your column and also will organize your programs a bit better

Hi Zeretul1

In Taskbar > Properties > Start Menu > Customize, be sure that the
option for Scroll Programs is Un-checked.

It's a good idea, though, to group programs together as Peter said --
makes things much easier to find.
