if i have too much stuff to view at one time on the today screen, i get the dumb scroll bars on the side. how do you get rid of them? thanks

um, reduce the number of plugins you have on the today screen

There is no other way.

Well, you could lock the top several apps in position and have it only scroll on the bottom portion of the today screen. would this be an option?

yea it would be. how do you do that?

Go into the registry and change the "Type" from 4 to 5 on whichever plugins you want to lock. You will probably want to put them in order first from the top down.

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"WhicheverPlugin"]
"Type"=dword:00000005

ok. and only do this to a few? what would happen if i did it to all of them? would that be bad?

dunno, doubt it would work for all of them

You could also use an app like SK Tools to make the scrolling bars thinner.
