My START>ALL PROGRAMS menu of programs exceeds the space available. (3
columns of 26 each) Is there a solution to this ? A method of scroll
perhaps?
I think I remember a suggestion once of grouping into various topics. Any
other solutions?

Right click the Start Button and select Properties/Customize Button/Advanced Tab. Scroll down the list of options and select the "Scroll Programs" option. OK/Apply.

This list is an image of the shortcuts in the folder C::\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs. If you go to that folder, you can
create subfolders within it, then move shortcuts into the appropriate
folder. I personally think that's easier to use than scrolling through a
very long list.

Amen to that.  IMO: The scrolling option in this case is more annoying than
losing programs off the right side of the screen.
  The fix Ken gave is an easy drag n drop solution.
