When I click Start...All Programs, I get four complete columns of folders
and descriptions. I only see a about half of the folders in the fifth
column, and of course nothing at all of the sixth and succeeding columns (if
there are any). I would expect to get a slider bar at the bottom or maybe
the right when I see All Programs. The end result, of course, is that I
don't have any access to programs beyond the fourth column.

Do I need to tweak something?

Holy canoli - how many programs have you installed?

There are two solutions for you: Buy a wide screen monitor or consolidate
Start menu items into groups so they require less space to occupy.

There are several ways to correct this, but the first one to try is to
change the screen resolution to the next step from where it is now.
Rightclick open area of screen and click Properties, then click Settings
tab. On the resolution bar click one click to the right>Apply>OK
Now check if you can see the columns, of course all the print will
be smaller then before.

Obviously, lots.
