Can you make menus with more than one column ?? I have that on my start/all programs menu or for Favorites in Maxthon, gives quite some space to fill. Or having a menu "scrollable"; like the start menu in some Windows was, I think... (or is it an option between this & multi-colums??)

And... this actually could sound cool. Too bad I don't use the AB

In XY at least the menu become scrollable automatically if they have to many lines of data. But that's no solution when you have hundreds of subfolders. Neither the multi-column menu, which also clutters the whole screen -- I don't like it.
I will try and see what others do in this situation. E.g. I heard the Vista Explorer uses a breadcrumb, too.

Oh yeah I saw that for the Start menu, not sure if it's such a nice thing though.. might also just be that we need time to get used to that new way of "browing a menu". (haven't tried it actually, just seen pictures )
