Click Start>Run, type in regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Advanc ed On the right hand side for the Advanced key, create a new String value named "StartMenuScrollPrograms"(without the quotes) Then double click it and type false in the value data field.
And that's it - exit the registry and reboot. The 98 menus should now break into new columns when they become too long - like in 95. No more need to scroll. vic http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WinTips-Tricks Registry For Newbies http://newbieclub.com/cgi-bin/sgx/d.cgi?rfncopy-vic ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 1:42 PM > Hi all, Could some kind soul refresh my poor brain?
