"Scroll The Programs Menu" has no effect on Filemaker. I still think it
might be a Windows thing.
I will look at the NT tweak

There may also be a relevant option in the TweakUI PowerToy for Windows
2000. The latest is 1.33 for Windows 2000, located at<br>

It may have some relevant setting, but if there isn't and what Eduardo
suggested doesn't work, it means FileMaker made the choice to use
scrolling menus instead of panels. You should also try their knowledge
base and/or complain.<br>

The folks in my office want their menus to looks like NT4.0 menus. Is
there a hack to get Win2K to look like 4.0?<br>

Your help is appreciated.<br>
