    Some of Start Menu pinned items not visible


    I have some pinned items on the start menu but the list of visible items got populated and the rest of the pinned items seems to be below the list of visible items but they are not reachable because i can't scroll up to see them.

    How to fix this?

    Hi,
    You might post a screen shot if you need assistance review the links in my signature for how too's,
    Also click start and type in the search box
    dpi or make text and other items larger or smaller
    What is the dpi set on ?

    Also type in the search box
    resolution
    Are you set on the Recommended resolution for your monitor and are you using multiple monitors ?
    Cheers.

    dpi is set to "smaller - 100%". My screen resolution is 1280x800 and i don't use multiple monitors. Screenshot will not show much but it look something like this:

    Hi,
    No that I know of there's only room for as many as your vertical resolution allows in your case 800 minus the taskbar size
    There's is a little more room to increase the start menus vertical size but not muck only one more item,
    Pinned items will not show a scroll bar that is I've never seen one with one anyway :/
    Start Menu - Customize
    So youd have to reduce the amount of recent program to show in the start menu list

    Here's my example of a totally full 900 start menu list, with 15 items set to show maximum allowed.
    Possibly you should right click the ones you don't want there and click on Remove from this list

    I guess then this is a normal Windows 7 behavior, i thought i may have some bug or something. I may look for some start menu replacement that allow to put more items.

    Hi,
    That's pretty much why I asked what dpi your using,
    A larger dpi as I'm using 125%
    It's hard to believe you find the "Getting started" listing helpful ?
    Look at the tutorial I posted it will clearly show how to raise the space but as stated it can not exceed the 800 of your screen height
    Cheers.
