I have a Folder that will only display in the "Programs" list using Start Menu Style - Windows 7 style . It will not display using -Classic style or - Classic with two columns. How do I fix it so the Folder will display using any of the three options listed under Start Menu Style ?

What is the exact location of your folder? Is it possible it is hidden?

Can you show a screenshot of the Programs menu?

Is it possible that it is off-screen because you don't have enough room on screen? Switch temporarily to a single scrolling column.

Yes, the "Turbo Tax" folder does show in the Classic with two Columns view. It is at the bottom of the list. But using the single column scrolling defeats the purpose of the "classic with two columns" view (for me). How do I get it (classic with two columns) to put the Folders in alphabetical order ? My goal is to NOT have to scroll a list.

TIA !!

Right click inside the Programs list and click Auto Arrange. That will keep it always sorted by name. You can also click "Sort by Name" to sort just once.
