Making the start menu smaller

I've seen screenshots where the start menu is shorter than standard. How can I do this?

It all depends on the visual style

It also depends on how much items you put in.

Thanks, I'm too afraid to reshack so I guess I'll leave it but I apreciate it anyway.

The best way to make the start menu smaller is to start menu properties/startmenu/customize/advanceed and uncheck all the shortcuts that you dont use...

When you say shorter, do you mean shorter vertically or horizontally?
