Solved Windows 7 Start Menu too big

[mk10]

My start menu is just too big in relation with pinned programs. There's just too much empty space.

click on task bar properties then start menu tab and untick "use large icons"

Why can't I use large icons. It didn't have this much space before.

 

[koolkat77]

its because you have unticked the options for "run, device and printers, help and support, default programs" etc...

My start menu is just too big in relation with pinned programs. There's just too much empty space.

You have to eradicate those in the second column (ie Computer, Control Panel,Devices and Printers), you can do that by going to [start menu tab :ar: customize :ar: Don't Display This Item]. If you want to add items to fill the space, make sure you've configured it to at least the number of items you're gonna put [start menu tab :ar: customize].

Hello mk10,

You might see if this may be able to help make your Start Menu a bit smaller (shorter).
