Hi every1,

Just want to know how to get rid of this problem

Problem: When I click on a menu item like favourites in IE5 or MS Outlook
the drop down list displays but only with half of what it has.......it has the other half hidden...........to access the other half you have to point your mouse over the 2 little arrows that are at the bottom of the list, pointing downwards.

This is really annoying for me and was wondering how I could turn this feature of..........I checked in TweakUI but I found no option there.

Has anyone got any idea??

Thanks

Ben

Thanks Ghost Hacker,

but that link you gave me is for personalised menus which apply to programs in your start menu.

What I am referring to drop down menu's in program (for eg - Outlook)
that don't display the full options available for that drop down.
They only display a couple and to access the rest, you have to click right down the bottom on 2 little arrows to expand the list.

Do you see what I mean????

In Outlook open the "tools" menu and then "customize". Click the "options" tab and remove the Check mark next to "menus show recently used.....". Restart Outlook and your menus will be fully displayed.


You'll have to look at each program separately to find that setting. But for Microsoft Office 2000 programs they are all in the same place. (Tools/customize/options)


Hope this helps
