Any way to turn off menu option hiding?

I personally don't really like the menu option "hiding" in Win2K, especially for the start menu. Is there any way to turn this feature off?

Thanks!

Frank,

You can disable the start menu hiding by clicking on Start > Settings > Taskbar and Start Menu...

Place a check in the "Use Personalized Menus" check box and click "OK".

If you would like to disable this "feature" in the Internet Explorer 5.0 Favorites Menu, from inside IE, click on Tools > Internet Options.

Then click on the "Advanced" tab and clear the checkbox next to "Enable Personalized Favorites Menu".

That should take care of the menu hiding in these cases.  I have not found out how to disable this in Outlook 2000 however.

Thank you Paul for posting about the Office 2000 menus.  I did mention how to fix the Favorites menu in Internet Explorer if you read my original posting.

I also took your advice in Outlook 2000.  I went to Tools > Customize > Options tab and unchecked the Menus show recently used commands first.  So thank you for clearing that up.
