How do I increase the number of programmes shown in the Start Menu for Windows XP?

Published 13/08/2011 | By Andy Crawford

By default, Windows XP shows only the 6 most recently used programmes in the Start Menu. If you want to increase that number you may change it manually.

Right-click the Start button select: Properties.

Start Menu (tab)

Customise (button)

General (tab)

After “Number of items shown on start menu” increase to whatever number you want.

“OK” (button) then “Apply”
