How do I "view" all my programs from the Start menu?

[WindowsXPer]

In Windows95, when I clicked on START and then move the mouse to PROGRAMS... Iwas able to "view" every single one of my programs in a larger window.

Now, with WindowsXP, I click on START and then move the mouse to PROGRAMS... but, it only shows me 5 folders... with two small arrows below. I must CLICK on those two small arrows to view all of my programs.

Is there any way to change the preferences, so that when I move my mouse over PROGRAMS in the START menu... the window will open showing every single one of my programs... even if they flow over into a second column?

Thank you for any help you can give me.

A friend, using Windows Millenium, is having the same problem. In the past, when he moved his mouse over PROMRAMS in the START window... all of his programs could be seen in on large window. Now, like myself, he has to CLICK on the two small arrows for the PROGRAMS window to show all of his applications.

We'd both appreciate any solutions to this annoying problem.
