hi there,

How do i remove the white space on the start menu?. Everytime i add a shortcut to the start menu it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and it wont file up the empty space.I've tried everythiing in the customize settings and it still wont fix it. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Are you referring to the area below the gray line? If so, that automatically fills with commonly used applications that aren't already shortcutted above the grey line.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I have set the start menu to not add commonly used applications and i've set it to small icons, so i dont have that grey line anymore. I've added all the shortcuts that i want on the start menu, but no matter how many i add theres a huge white space and it wont fill up, in XP i was able to customize this, but i can't seem to in Vista.

Could you show me a couple screen shots? I've got a couple ideas, but I don't want to start suggesting things and then find out that I'm just completely misunderstanding or the problem is something I've been unable to reproduce.

Hi Thimble Guy,

I am glad everything is alright now, but were you referring to the Pin To area or the area after you click All Programs?

You might take a look at these tutorials for help on customizing them.
