I need your help s'il vous plait

I need to stop my Start Menus from doing this:

-Getting out of ABC order
-Shrinking so ypu have to press those two arrows to make the rest appear.

How do I do this in AD/GPO so that all the PC's in the school will be organised?

Thanks

Ah...SBS, ours are 2003 Standard Edition Servers.

There's a policy in the User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbars which says "Turn off personalised menus"

I'm looking at ours right now...

I meant to put a ? at the end of the previous post, did that not work then?

I'm about 99% sure it's just a typo you've made on here while posting but there is a 2 in that script after start menu on the off chance you've not noticed
