Have you tried the commands listed in HELP under cascading ?
Bob G
I've just did a clean install of Windows98 and did all the Window98 updates including all critical updates.My problem is when I go to the start menu and put my mouse on programs, they don't cascade. In order to get it to cascade I have to click the mouse on programs for it too open up.
Thank You Bob H.
