My start menu-all programs, has filled up the 2 available columns, and refuses to start another one, the newer programs being hidden. I have partially solved this by using the classic XP start menu, but would prefer to use the standard XP one. Cant seem to find anything in the registry to add a 3rd column, and tweakUI is no help here. I did hear somewhere, that 2 columns is the max, but that seems pretty stupid to me.

Which theme are you using? Not sure if this is why you are seeing things differently?

(b) In reply 1 I pointed out that I am using the normal XP start menu (not Classic) and I have three columns.

Quote from: shutter XP.... the Classic Menu provides smaller columns (I think) as I have it enabled, and there is room for at least three columns, the font is smaller too...
Looking at the screen dump penfold provided he has room for a third column.

Also, penfold has tried classic menu and says it works but doesn't want to use them:
