Run Regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,Software,Microsoft,Windows,CurrentVersion,Explorer,Advanced. Right-click in the right-hand pane and choose New,String Value. A new entry will appear - name it 'StartMenuScrollPrograms' (without the quotes) and then double-click to enter data and type in 'false' (again, without the quotes the system will display what you type in quotes).
