    Large Windows Start menu

    Hello,

    I Have quickly scanned the pages of this forum and I cannot find the similar problem,

    My problem is very simple: my windows Xp Start menu is very large, The craziest is that I have the same problem with the ms office, certainly I Have not Done any manipulation that tend to create this problem ... Anyway, my start menu almost filled the entire height of my screen, and it look really unpleasant. If Someone Has the Solution and please Send me Back ?

    Thank you in advance,

    you should decrease number of programs on start. Right click taskbar > Properties > Start menu tab > Customize and change number of programs on taskbar to 6. If they are already 6 then change your resolution.
