Richard,
No, this is happening with normal applications but it is an OS
preference. If you don't use certain menu items in MS Outlook then they
are hidden from view (not really gone) and they are replaced with a
blank line with a double arrow at the right hand side that when pressed
will then reveal the items missing. It is a problem. But worse is if
there are certain items at the top of a menu and at the bottom of the
menu then you have two blank line with arrow access items. it really
gets confusing.
I have seen it in every new XP computer set to 'On' by default.

Well, the OS, for one. The feature is called Personalized Menus.
The doc says "Personalized Menus keeps the Programs menu clean by
hiding items you haven't used recently, while still keeping other
programs easily accessible. You can gain access to hidden programs
by clicking the down arrow at the bottom of the Programs menu".
Similar "features" are provided with other MS products, like Office.
Yetch. Bletch. Yuck. Good for casual users, but death to anyone
with decent reflexes and physical memory.
Ah, I see. It's not like this is happening with normal application
menus; the Start menu is a special case.
