Windows Me - Find start menu entries much faster

November 30, 2013
Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

If you have some rarely or not at all used menu entries in your start menu, Windows Me tries to appear clever and hides them from the user for a better overview. However, if the user is looking for them, they have to laboriously rummage through the hidden entries - it is better to disable this useless feature straight away:

1. Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties.

2. Now remove the tick in front of Use personalized menusn and confirm with OK.

From now on you are spared the annoying menu hiding of Windows Me and you can browse through your entire start menu without any effort.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
