Any way to move "All Programs" on the XP Start menu?

Right now I have this, and I'd like to have it look more vertical and take up that extra space that's been left over from the deleted icons. I can't find any options to let me mess with the layout of the start menu. Any ways to mess with that?

As gcy noted, try the Windows Classic look. It's pretty much the same look as in Win9x.

Using the Windows Classic look, you could reclaim some additional real estate by resizing your taskbar. Drag and drop some of your less frequently used quick-launch icons from your task bar to the Start menu where they will appear above the "Programs" entry. Then resize your taskbar.

Just an idea.

yeah, I had it that way since I first installed XP, but then I liked the idea of having My Computer and some other commonly used folders in there. I can still get away with that with the classic menu, but I liked the way that the new Start menu divided things up, however it was way too bulky for my tastes, I think I'll stick with the classic menu, thanks guys :)
