When click on the Start ORB icon, is it possible
to have the All Programs list show first instead of the
programs I've pinned to Start Menu?

Hi Pufnstuff,

Sorry, there is no way that I am aware of.

Hi

After I click the Orb, I just hover the mouse pointer over All Program
for 1 second and it opens - there may be a way to make this even quicke


Open Regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Deskto

Click the Desktop folder then double click MenuShowDelay in the righ
hand window. Try changing the default setting of 400 to a lower figure
say 150, click ok, then all your menus will open much faster

Alternatively, you could create a shortcut on your desktop and put al
your program shortcuts in there, then use that to get to them instead o
the Orb , but that's a lot of extra shortcuts to be loaded to you
desktop at startup

Hope that help

SIW2
p.s. actually I just tried it - menus open a lot faster but doesn'
have a vast effect on hovering over All Programs - might as well jus
click it

It irritated me, and I also wtook the option of creating a desktop item.
Navigate to Users -username -Appdata -Roaming -Microsoft -Windows
-Start Menu.
Right click and drag Programs onto your desktop and create a shortcut
