Change start menu behavior Start Menu behavior changing

I have a large/long Start Menu in 98SE and the default behavior is to show only the elements that fit from top down. At the bottom is an arrow I can place the cursor on that will send the menu up, eventually so only the bottom most are on the screen and the arrow is now on the top. Stopping short of this, arrows will appear on the top and bottom.
Isn't there a setting somewhere to make it instead open multiple column so that all of the items are on the screen at the same time [unless I run out of screen space for all the columns!].
I believe this is the default behavior for Win95 that I seek.
On a related note: How do you get sorting of the Start Menu items? I run CCleaner to remove something called the menu-order cache, this seems to help.

REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "StartMenuScrollPrograms"="NO" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer] "StartMenuScrollPrograms"="NO"
i generated this with xsetup so try that if it doesnt work or ask mdgx because he probably knows

Perhaps there is a registry patch to restore that function?
