Start Menu Programs Always Highlighted hero2zero 6/2/2007 5:35:02 PM Hi there, This only happens on occasions, but when I install a new program it is highlighted as normal in the Start Menu. However once I have run the program it usually stops being highlighted and recently this hasn't been the case. How do I stop new programs being highlighted in the Start Menu?

As the item is freshly installed, that counts as 'use' and a few days of inactivity should bring it to the background, but still visible if you click the little arrow at the bottom of the menu- you may have changed your settings for how it behaves. Check the taskbar properties, the function can be disabled by unchecking the 'Expand Programs' in the Property list. Tony. . .

Right click on the Taskbar to bring up the Taskbar and Menu Properties. 2. Click on the Start Menu tab. 3. Click on the Customize button. 4. Click on the Advanced tab. 5. In the Start Menu Settings ensure the box to the left of Highlight newly installed programs is blank - no check mark. 6. Click on OK. 7. Click on OK.
