In the Start Menu, I only see one menu at a time, and have to click on an item to cascade the next level of menu... I would *really* prefer that these menus auto-cascade; further, when "All Programs" is opened, I want *all* of that menu to display automatically, no matter how many columns it takes (currently three columns). I truly hope there is some way I can configure this!! Any advice??

First issue: NextSTART Preferences -> Menus -> Enable Open Sub-Menus on Mouseover

Second issue, no can do, sorry. NextSTART menus can display the contents of entire folders with thousands of files, so imagine what would happen when displaying the contents of, say, \Windows\System32\ if such an option was available.

You just have to click the 'More' button at the bottom of each sub-menu.

Yep, I discovered the "open on mouseover" options once I installed the registered version. Cool enough!

I'd still prefer that it opened (at least) all of "All Programs" on mouseover, but I can live with this, since the "more" menus also respond to mouseover now...

Very cool! especially my scaly Dragon skin...
