Default "All Programs" Submenu's broken.

Hi,

I get the "all programs" menu, but
when I right click it, to sort it; the
menu flashes instantaneously, and is
gone.

Is it just, that I'm not a
"Windows user", kinda guy ?

Ken .

Right click on the start button and select Properties.
In the window, select the Start Menu tab and click the topmost Customize
button
In the new window, click the advanced tab.
Put a check mark in the "Enable dragging and dropping" item.

Ken,

One thing I noticed, when I used the standard Start Menu, when I select "All
Programs" nothing shows up...it's like the "All Programs" group doesn't have
anything to show. However, when I change to "Classic Start Menu" when I
select the "Programs" group I do have programs listed.

Hi,

That did it.
Thank-you.

And - is seems - to have cured a
lot of other little problems, that have
been bugging the task-bar.

The quick launch, was taking
fifteen minutes to refresh; and the
start menu, was taking too long.

Seems like a strange bug, to be so
far-reaching, in its harm.

Thanks,
Ken .
