If u install so many programs in ur computer, It'll be updated to ur start menu. If there are more number of programs it'll show in scroll mode(sometimes).

1. right click on the taskbar -> properties
2. Taskbar and start menu properties dialog will appear. In that click startmenu tab
3. Click customize. Click the one which is active.
4. Customize Start menu dialog will appear. In that click advanced tab.
5. In the startmenu items, look for "Scroll programs". Uncheck that.

Thats it. Ur start menu will no more appear in scroll type and annoy u. If u need to get back to the scroll type check the box "Scrollprograms"
