Hi

Please could you tell me how to go about increasing the number of items in the first start menu in Classic Shell? At the moment its at default I would like to increase it to about 20 or so.

Thanks

On the Special Items tab, change the setting "Max recent programs".

I have tried changing the max recent programs to various numbers, but only get one program that is remembered. Show recent programs is enabled. Any ideas how to get more?

Only programs launched from the start menu are remembered. Did you start more than one?

I would second this request for more Start Menu Items. I wanted to set it with small fonts and 60 items. It seems to max out at 20. I tried seting the Max Recent documents to 30 and the max recent programs to 60. Maybe I don't understand the differences but the most items that it seems tohandle is 20 no mater the settings.
