REDUCING THE START MENU SIZE

Note: this tip should be read in conjunction with AUTO-HIDING THE TASK BAR in the Task Bar Tips category.

While you are at this Task Bar Properties page (described in the tip above), try clicking on the option for "Show small icons in Start Menu". This wording is not altogether accurate, for what having this option checked will do is reduce the size of your Start Menu. (Of course the icons do get a bit smaller also.) Having it unchecked means your Start Menu and the icons on it will be as big as possible. That's something you might find especially handy when you have to stare at the relatively tiny screen of your laptop computer.
