Is it possible to really condense or compress the Start menu for windows XP? (start>all programs thing) Like mine is 3 columns long and is going of screen now, is there anyway to compress it so its smaller? icon_twisted.gif

Right click the start button, go to Properties, click the Start Menu tab, and click the Customize button.

Make folders and put things into them. Thus, each one is compressed nicely under another folder. Every game doesn't need to be in their own folder. Every compiler doesn't need its own section. Every CD burning software doesn't need 50 icons in a folder.

Also programs that are easily accessable via another method, such as Desktop or Quicklaunch, don't need to be in the start menu.

I also put a Frequent Folder at the top of my XP start menu so most of the stuff I need I don't even have to go into Programs for

Doesn't XP manage your frequent stuff for you, though?

You could download a docking system instead of using the start menus.

So what you're saying, d1s, is that it doesn't work properly when you disable it? Hmmm. Dunno how to fix that.

XP hides the unused menus in classic start menu fine on my laptop. And on my work desktop.
