Windows XP Taskbar - Toolbar - Start Menu - Change the Size of your Start Menu Icons

SUMMARY: Shrink the size of your Windows XP Start Menu to display more programs.

Normally, the main section of the Windows XP Start Menu shows larger icons than the "All Programs" menu. If you'd like, you can shrink the size of these icons as well, allowing you to display more recently-used programs on the main section of the Start Menu.

1. Right-click an empty area of the Taskbar and choose "Properties".

2. When the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box appears, select the "Start Menu" tab.

3. Click the "Customize" button.

4. When the "Customize Start Menu" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click the "General" tab.

5. Select "Small icons".

6. Click "OK" on the dialog boxes to close them.
