Cascading All Programs menu in Vista?

After read all the posts in this ng i feel somekind of lucky, I have none of
those major computers distresses that many mates here have, although of
course, I costed me a lot, I bought a new hard drive, a new video card, a
dvd-r drive and 2gb of hard to find rambus memory and format and reinstall
Vista about three times along with Adobe Design suite, Corel Painter and
someother apps. The only hardware problem I have right now is that since my
old SoundBlaster Live Value card is no longer supported and the sound of it
its awful for any music player.

Anyway, my current question is a practical one: I do like very much the Aero
Enviroment and the new start menu, BUT I really hate the way that All
programs shortcuts are buried in the new start menu.

The only thing I would like is that when i click on All Programs it would be
display like it was in XP, but I don't want to change my start menu to a Win
Classic-like start menu. I like the things the way they are now, just need a
cascading menu for the option All Programs just above the start menu windows
icon. If there is a way to hack it using registry even better, because I
wouldn't like to get a third party software for that.

Thanx

Hi,

If it could be changed, it'd have to be a registry hack or third party
utility, and I don't know of any for it at this point.

software but it easy for uninstall and don't change system files so
