Fun with the Scroll Programs feature

Some people love the program scroll feature, and others hate it. Personally, I don't like this feature that much. I like to see all of my programs installed on my screen at once instead of having to move the mouse to the bottom of the list and clicking the down arrow or waiting for the list to move up automatically when the feature is enabled.

If you do not like having your menus take up a lot of space on your screen, enabling the scroll programs feature will cut your programs list down in size dramatically if you have a lot of programs installed.

Some computer manufacturers ship their machines with this feature automatically enabled; other don't have it enabled. So if this feature sounds interesting to you, feel free to try it out by following these steps. If you hate this feature, then follow these steps to remove it:

1. Right-click the Start button and select Properties.

2. Click the top Customize button for the Start panel settings.

3. Next, click the Advanced tab.

4. Locate the Start Menu items scroll box in the middle of the window and scroll down all the way to the bottom until you locate the Scroll Programs entry.

5. Check the box to enable; uncheck to disable.

6. Click OK to save your changes.

7. Click OK once more to exit the Start Menu settings.

Now you will have full control over your scrolling program list.

File and Folder Permissions

Windows XP Professional boxes running the NTFS file system have the capability to set indi vidual file permissions on both files and folders.
