Why dont I see all my choices in the Start Menu all the time?
Windows XP, in Classic View, has a feature that is initially set to hide menu choices that are not used regularly. This is called Personalised Menus. This setting can be changed to display all menu choices available. As more programs are installed on the computer, the start menu can become very crowded so using Personalised Menus can be useful to display only the commonly used program shortcuts. To Turn off Personalised Menus in the Classic Start Menu view. • Right-click in an empty area of the taskbar. • Shortcut menu opens. • Choose Toolbars Properties from the menu. • Click on the Start Menu tab. • Click on the Customize button to the right the of Classic Start Menu option. • Scroll to Use Personalized Menus at the bottom of the Advanced Start Menus options list. • Click on Use Personalized Menus to un-tick this choice.
