Change Menu Formats At Will
Fred, A few months back, I changed my start menu in Windows XP to reflect the classic windows start menu only in the fact that once I click on Start, All programs, the menu is one long menu instead of expanded out to the right in two columns. Now, I want to change it back to the default but am unable to remember how I changed it in the first place! Can you point me in the right direction to revert back to the default menu expansion? Thank you. ---DH
As a general rule, the trick to remember with almost everything in Windows is that you can make many adjustments via the "Properties," which are usually accessed via a right click.
In this case, if I understand your question correctly, you're trying to modify the behavior of the Start button's menus. The Start button is on the Taskbar, so you right click on an empty spot on the Taskbar, and select Properties. That brings up the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog. Because you want to adjust the Start menu, select the "Start Menu" tab. There, you'll see the choice of either the XP-style menu or the Classic style menu, as well as a button to make additional customizations, if you wish.
