shortened favorites menu

What can I do to see my full favorites menu, currently it's shortened and I
have to press the double arrows to see all of my favorites.

IE-Tools-Internet Options-Advanced
The option is "Enable Personalized Favorites Menu"

I ensured the use personalized menus is checked however it's still giveing me
the short menu, rather than the full menu I want, I don't know what changed
this, I've been using the full menu for years, all of a sudden it went back
to the short one all by itself.

The "short menu" IS the personalized menu, IF you don't want to use it,
UNcheck the box.

I've tried both ways, only thing I haven't tried is uncheck and close IE then
reopen, I'll try that tonight.

It is not meant to be checked if you don't want it.
Uncheck it, reboot and see what happens.

why reboot?

Yes, IE needs to be reopened to "read" the changed setting.
