How to stop "Favorites" from hiding some items?

[Bird Strike]

This topic might have been done before, but I could not find it by using search (probably I'm not paying enough attention, for which I apologise), so here it goes again.

How do you stop some items of "Favorites" from being "hidden" in Explorer and Internet Explorer? What I am referring to are those items that Explorer claim that I do not use often get hidden under the "arrow". If I place the cursor on the arrow, I know they appear, but I want everything to be displayed without the irritating arrow. I hope I am making myself clear as to what I want.

The operating system is XP Pro.

I manage to do it on my old system but I cannot for the life of me remember how I did that.

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Select Internet Explorer page.....
Select "Tools"
Select "Internet Options"
Select "Advanced" (tab at the top)
UNCHECK "Enable Personalized Favorites Menu"

Terrific! That's worked. Thank you very much.

I've seen that tick box before but never thought that it would hide some items. That's very impersonal as far as I'm concerned!
