Windows XP Start, Program menu question

Am running Windows XP with the Start menu set to classic setting.

Problem is that when I click on Start, Programs only the catagories
that I have used lately come up such as Accessories - Games - etc.
They all used to come up which is what I want it to be.

How do I get Programs under Start, Programs to show again when I move
the mouse over them and not just the ones I used lately?? They all
used to show until the setting got switched somehow.

TIA

If this is not what you need, let us know:

If it got switched somehow and you didn't do it, somebody may have
done it for you.

Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware
detection programs:

Malwarebytes (MBAM): http://malwarebytes.org/
SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

They can be uninstalled later if desired.

Just click on the double chevron at the bottom of the list that points
down to display all the programs

Yes I realize that but I want them to stay showing and clicking double
chevron at the bottom does not keep them ALL showing next time I go
there.

Thanks anyways.

Thanks very much. The web site had the solution.

Somehow the "Personalized Menu" got checked.

Thanks again
