START Vertical windows

[larjan]

I changed my Start Menu to create several columns of items. Now I would like to reverse my change to scroll. I tried changing the registry according to the directions on this web sight. They say to change "StartMenuScrollPrograms" under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to yes. The problem is the value is a DWORD with a value of 0x00000000(0).
How can I make the Start menu scroll vertically?

Is this what you are looking for?

Restore Windows 95 like cascading menus to the Start Menu
Windows 98 changed the behavior of the menu's under the Start Menu. In Windows 98, when a menu is to tall to fit on your screen, you will see a scroll arrow at the bottom, allowing you to scroll further down. In Windows 95, a second menu would appear next to the first, where the entries who would otherwise not fit on your screen would be displayed.

To restore the Windows 95 like behavior: (in Windows 98)

Start the Registry Editor
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ explorer \ Advanced
Right-click an open area in the right pane and select New > String Value
Name it StartMenuScrollPrograms
Double-click this entry and add the value false
Exit the registry editor

Just delete the StartMenuScrollPrograms entry.
