Is there a setting to be able to view all programs when you go to start, all programs. I seem to have to many to view in the 800x600 setting. I can see them all in the 1024x768 setting but I like the 800x600 setting better.

With Windows Explorer:

Open folder: "C:\Dosceuments and Settings"
Open folder: for your user name
Open folder: "Start Menu\Programs"
Create new folders to better organize the listings.

For example you could create these folders in the Programs folder:
_Applications
_CD_DVD
_Games
_Graphics
_Internet
_Multimedia
_Printing
_Programming
_Scanning
_Utility

You can then copy or move applications around to better organize things

For applications organized into their own folders you might want to copy the links to the most common applications down to a lower level.

For example:
_Games
... Electronic Arts
... EA Games
... Rockstar Games
... Need For Speed High Stakes
... Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2
... Need For Speed Underground
... Play GTAIII
... Play GTA Vice City

The first three are game folders. The others are links to the games copied from these folders.

Rightclick the START button for properties, and then press the "customize" button.
On the "Advanced" page, look in the list for
Scroll Programs
and enable it. I found it to be quite annoying, though, so I'd recommend egkenny's suggestion. Or you could decrease the size of the font of the start-menu, but you'd still run out of space later.
