Start menu getting cut off

Sunday, May 18, 2008 by rockfreak667 | Discussion: Docks

If my start menu button is high enough (it is in the middle of aligned to right of the screen at the moment), the start menu gets cut off by not showing some shortcuts. Is there anyway to make it permanently always show the menu "downwards" ? Hereis a (partial) screenshot of what I am talking about.

I've notice using the start menu docklet causes the menu to appear in relation to the docklet - doesn't work for me. even if the menu appears fully, the all programs menus run into issues

I do better with a shortcut pointed to a .vbs:

copy this into notepad or object edit:


set wShell=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell")
wShell.sendkeys "^{ESC}"




save as a .vbs (start.vbs or whatever.vbs)

point a shortcut on Odock to it. clicking on it will cause the start menu to pop up where it normally would clicking 'start' on the taskbar
