Expanding Explorer Menus

Newer versions of Internet Explorer use a Favorites menu that "remembers" the sites you visit the most. So, when you click your Favorites menu, you may only see 5 or 6 of your favorite sites and need to click the little double-"V" looking thing (see picture below) at the bottom of the menu in order to see the rest.

Personally, I kind of like the feature, but I know that some people don't. So, if you want to make your favorites menu show you all your favorites all the time, here's how:

1. Open Internet Explorer and hit the Tools menu, Internet Options.

2. Click the Advanced tab and look for an entry called "Enable Personalized Favorites Menu". Just uncheck it and your Favorites menu should go back to showing you everything.
