Some windows apps (MS Office 2003 actually) have a feature which I find annoying where when you first open the menu, only a subset of the menu items are shown. Double clicking the menu or clicking the arrow at the bottom expands the rest of the menu. I still find it annoying.

Is there a way to turn this feature off?

in MS-Word, it's Tools >> Customize >> Options and check the box for "Always show full menus"

Office is the main culprit, though it no longer applies in 2007 (ribbon bar), and I think if you set it in any one of the apps it applies to the whole suite. – GalacticCowboy Jul 16 '09 at 1:36
@[GalacticCowboy]: hey, you're right! I turned it off in Word and it's off in Excel, too. – Steven A. Lowe Jul 16 '09 at 1:37
