Problem: when I click 'start'>programs, then I see all the programs I have
installed. But I have so many that some are 'lost' to the right part of the
screen and I cannot see which ones they are. I am thinking that there is a
way to narrow the columns so that I can view all of them (or even move them
more to the left. I have win xp home. I hope that I dont have to sacrifice
programs and delete some just to make room. THank you for your response
 
You need to combine them. Example: if you have a test program drag it to the
file system tools under accessories.

Click to expand...

Each column will be as wide as the longest name. Rename the longer items
with shorter names. Example: Change "Microsoft Office Professional 2000" to
"MS Office."

You can do the renaming from the start menu, right click on an item and
select Rename.
