In Win98 I would like the 'Programs' pop up list in the Start menu to open multiple menus showing all my programs as opposed to having to scroll up or down throught the menu. My boss's computer functions this way and I can't figure out how to do it. Anyone know how to do this?

Add this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\explorer\Advanced

Create a string value named:
StartMenuScrollPrograms

and set it to false

Cascading Start Menus

Go to http://members.xoom.com/Khephra/regfiles.htm

From here, you can download a patch which will restore the Windows 95 Start Menu style to Windows 98 PCs by adding a checkbox to Explorer's View | Folder Options | View tab. Internet Explorer 5.x must be installed for this Registry edit to work. Do not apply this Registry edit to Windows 95 PCs.

After applying the Registry edit, open Windows Explorer and select View, then Folder Options, then the View tab.
Scroll down to the entry "Multi-Column Start Menu Style" and place a check in the box beside it. Click Apply. Click OK.
Un-checking the box, or pressing Restore Defaults, will put your Start Menu back to the Windows 98 (or Internet Explorer 4) style after Clicking Apply and then OK.
