This is how I customize my Windows start menu. Right click the start icon (or taskbar) -> Properties -> Start Menu tab. Select “Start menu” (not the inferior “Classic Start menu”). Click “Customize”. Use “Small icons”, and 30 for “Number of programs on Start menu” (if your vertical screen resolution won’t fit 30, don’t worry because it will just show a shorter the list).

This is more useful for Windows XP, since Windows Vista has “Start Search” (which I consider a great upgrade), but it’s useful in Windows Vista too.
