We previously discussed how to change Win98's scrolling Start menu to the
Win95-style multi-column view that shows you everything at once. (See
http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2000/2000-05-08.htm#3 ) In that coverage,
we also mentioned that Windows 2000 has a checkbox item that lets you
instantly toggle between the Win95-style multi-column view and the Win98-
style scrolling view. It's very handy.

Reader Milly Peters offers this Registry patch that adds a similar
checkbox item to Windows 98: With this change, you can check or uncheck
the box (just as in Win2k) to switch instantly between a multi-column and
a scrolling Start Menu. Cool!

There are three ways to get this Reg patch: The best way is to download
"Menu.Reg" (for free) from http://www.langa.com/reg/menu.reg ; this will
avoid any problems (as mentioned above in item #1) with line-wraps etc.
Once you've downloaded it, just double click on it, and answer "Yes" when
asked if you want to make the changes.

Or you can create them on your system by opening NotePad and
copying/pasting (or typing) the following 12 lines of text  (line two is
blank) between the "----". Don't copy the "----" because they're simply to
show you where the file starts and ends.
