I like vista's new startmenu all except for the pin to startmenu option. What
i'm trying to find is a way for when you click on the startmenu button all
your programs are shown (instead of it showing your pinup programs and then
having to click the all programs button underneath). I removed all my pinups
and now its just a giant block of white space. suggestions appreciated.

ian - Right click "Start". Go to Customize and select a number for programs
to display. There is a maximum, 10 or so. You will fill your blank space as
you open programs.
Don't believe there's a way to get to "all programs" right off. Wayne

Hi Ian,

It's not configurable in that fashion. The design of the start menu now is
that your most frequently used programs are pinned to the top, or kept in
the most recently used section below it. All others take at least a second
click to reach "all programs".
