Help? WB - I'm dumb
and I need some help
Saturday, February 26, 2005 by Bichur | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I tried posting pictures but I'm semi computer illiterate and it didn't work.
The only example I can give is verbal (written as it were): If I use Ketrucel (the latest one I wanted) I can see 3 panels but know I have at least 2 to go that are hidden off my screen. If I use Antares all my programs show on 4 panel (with the names slightly cut off by the edge of the screen but I can live with it.
If it's not simple and easy, how would I go about implementing a suggestion made to me earlier: create master folder(?) to shorten my list. If I just remove them from my list I can't find them again.

Once installed and open look in Appearance > Start Menu > Window XP > New Start Menu > Start menu Options > "Show Start- > Programs in scrolling mode"
this will give you a single column, with scrolling arrows at top and bottom.
Or you can reorganize your programs folders to eliminate a lot the clutter. If you don't like the scrolling method, let me know, and I'll try to explain the reorganizing method.

In the Documents and Settings folder, you'll see a folder for each user, and one for All Users. Lets' go to the All Users menu > Start Menu > Programs. Here you'll probably find folders for most program you've installed of your machine.
First make a copy of this folder to the desktop, just in case.
Then, what I would do is create a few new folders such as "Internet", "Tools", you get the idea. Then start moving shortcuts out of all those folders to the appropriate folder. While doing this, I would eliminate shortcuts I don't need/never use. As you clean out a folder, delete it.
This will probably take a while, but when done, you'll have a much more organized more programs list.
I hope this makes sense......
