How to make "all programs" in 4 columns instead of 3

I use XP SP3 and available to the normal 3 columns for 'all programs' is overloaded. So how do we "all programs" in 4 columns instead of 3? I'm sure that there is only a tweak in the registry for this, but can't find it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "overloaded".  The "All programs" list includes additional columns as additional entries are created.

As far as I KNOW, you have two options: you can have a column that scrolls (which I find hard to believe that anyone actually wants), or you can group entries of all programs into subcategories so that there are fewer entries in the main list of all programs.

To scroll through all programs:

  • Right-click on the Start button, and then select Properties
  • In the "Start Menu" tab, click on the button "Customize".
  • If you use the XP menu, click the Advanced tab (no advanced for the "classic Start menu" tab)
  • Select "Scroll programs" in the Start Menu items list

All programs group in subcategories

The list of all programs is just a collection of "shortcuts" - that is, links to these programs themselves real.  These shortcuts are stored in one of two special folders:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Menu run\programs
C:\Documents and Settings\\Start Menu\Programs

Using Windows Explorer, you can create new subfolders in one of these two files and move there (not copy) the applicable subfolder shortcuts.  Note: you can easily open two special folders by right-clicking on the Start button and selecting "Open ' or explores]" and "open [or explore] all users."

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

  • How to make all audio at the same level?

    I have a sequence of many clips in first pro, and I could swear I've heard of a way to make all audio on the same level or db. Is there a way to do this? I have a few clips in the timeline with different levels and should be old enough to go to manually balance their volume.

    There is a way to do what you want, but it must be used with caution.  If you open the Audio Mixer Panel, select mixer of track and the track that your clips are on.  Click on the arrow at the top left of the track work (you may need to do it twice) and and access the small white window that goes down.  (See using Adobe https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/premiere_pro_reference.pdf page 365 if you have not done this before) In the right side of this window, right-click on one of the spikes back arrow and select Amplitude and Compression and dynamics.

    The word dynamic appears in the white window at the top of channel mixer.  Left click on the word dynamic and select Edit.  I pasted below the appropriate settings.

    If you are not familiar with Compressor/Limiter, use the parameter above.

    Now read your timeline and listen carefully while I look at the counters this setting should be good for normally recorded material, and I hope that you do have to do something more. If there is still following problems may be necessary. Schedule audio below (2) drag any clip that's too soft.  All that is too strong to do drag on the calendar below that (3). For the dynamic audio editing 2 repeat the process with the effect but change the makeup to 12.00dB.  For editing audio 3 change the makeup to 0dB setting.  It's not perfect, but it should give you a low-tech solution.   I hope this helps.

    I know how to make a DVD ISO file, install windows 10 preview, using Imgburn.

    But, how do an ISO file flash drive to install Windows 10 preview? How IMgburn can work for that? ImgBurn just do the conversion and then simply write to the flash drive.

    I can't believe you can "burn" a flash drive. (Someone correct me on this)

    danoVista

    Hi DanoVista,

    Thanks for posting the request in Microsoft Community Forums.

    With the ISO downloaded completely, simply transfer it to a USB flash drive. To burn an ISO to a USB stick, download Windows 7 USB/DVD tool is probably still your best bet.

    If you encounter a problem during the creation of bootable flash drive, you can use your favorite search engine for any utility that allows to format and create bootable USB flash drives.

  • How to make a program available to all users if the program was installed for a user

    Basically, the problem is that I created another user account, but only a few random apps appear on it and I was REALLY looking FORWARD to having to reinstall some programs + 50 so my computer can function normally on my secondary account.  I am able to find a lot of programs installed by snooping around in Explorer and have been able to run some by creating shortcuts, but many of them (Spybot, Itunes, Google Chrome, THE LIST GOES ON!) nothing do when the .exe is open and are unusable (on this account).
    Also, I want to say there is no page support for Windows 7 that cover this topic (that I could find by using the provided search engine), and the more those (as for windows 2000) do not apply because they tell you to move files Windows has more, but it is a known problem and Microsoft should incorporate a simple way to add or remove accounts without uninstall/install programs just to be able to check a box... _ Perhaps there could even be an option for this in a very obvious place, as installed programs list of the filth or user account settings.

    Any application that is properly designed to work on Windows 7
    either would give the person making the installation option to
    make the application available to all users, or do it automatically.
    by default. It is entirely the responsibility of an application
    programmers and out of Microsoft's control. Thus, the easiest way, of
    of course, is to use an application that is designed for a multi-user operating system.
    But, unfortunately, this is not always an option, where companies must rely on
    existing proprietary applications.

    If you install the legacy application places its shortcuts
    only in the start of the person performing the installation, all the
    You may need to do is to move these Start Menu entries to the same
    location in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program
    folder and/or the C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop folder.

    In addition, such an incompatible application can offer additional
    "challenges:

    You may experience problems if the software has been designed to
    Win9x / Me, or if it was intended for Windows NT / 2 K/XP, Vista/Win7, but was
    poorly designed. Quite simply, the application 'knows' how
    manage individual user with different security permissions profiles
    e going to
    'banned' sections of the Windows registry or Windows protected
    system folders.

    For example, the saved data is often stored in a subfolder under the
    folder of the application in C:\Program Files - a place where it doesn't
    the inexperienced user or limited should never have write permissions.

    It may even be that the software requires 'write' access to the parties
    the registry or the files/folders to systems protected are not normally
    accessible to regular users. (He * didn't * happen if the application is)
    correctly written.) If this does not prove that that is the case, however, you
    often left with three options: either grant the required users
    privileges of senior access (either as users with power or local
    Administrators), explicitly grant privileges for normal users
    the relevant records and/or parts or the registry or replace the
    request by another who has been properly designed especially for
    WinNT / 2 K/XP/Vista/Win7.

    Some programs do not work if you connect limited account
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; q307091

    In addition, here are some tips suggested, in response to a
    another post, MS - MVP Kent W. England:

    "If your game or your application works with administrator accounts, but not with."
    limited accounts, you can set it to allow limited users to access to the
    folder Program files with 'change' ability rather than 'read' that
    is the default value.

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: c

    where "appfolder" is the folder where the application is installed.

    If you want to undo these changes, then run

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: r

    NOTE: On Win7 Icacls.exe gives more control.

    If you still have a problem with the delivery of the program or save the settings
    on limited accounts, you may need to change the permissions in the registry
    keys. Run regedit.exe and go to HKLM\Software\vendor\app, where
    the key of the Publisher of the software used to your own
    program. Change the permissions on this key to allow users full control. »
