When I left click the Start button in Windows 7 at the bottom left and merely move the mouse to "All Programs" area, all the programs are displayed.
I don't like this and don't want this. I would rather see the programs only if I click in the area with the "All Programs" label.
I cannot find where to shut off this feature in Control Panel. Is there a registry edit that will help? Thankyou.

When I click Start, the Programs list does not appear unless I hover over the All Programs area. Maybe this because I have some shortcuts immediately above All Programs and the PC may think I still want access to those since they would be covered up by the Programs list.
Try putting a program shortcut in that area (right click|Pin to Start Menu) if you do not already have some shortcuts there. Otherwise, be careful not to hover over "All Programs".
Of course the Programs list also opens if I left click All Programs.
That's correct, I guess I should have said hover.
But the hover time before it appears on my computer is about 1.5 seconds. This has been driving me crazy ever since I got this computer and has caused arguments between myself and other people that use the computer.
For example, before I figured out that the computer was doing this on its own I would ask why my friend clicked on all programs when I was trying to help him with a search. And the he would say he didn't and then I would say he did and so forth. I can't stand this feature, there must be some way to disable it.
Do you mean something like this?

Thanks I'll try it the registry edit some time but it looks like I can only increase the the hover time not disable it and I would rather not download anything.
Ah. Maybe this then?

Ok. Just tried it. Pretty sure this is what you want. You must click on All Programs, not hover. No registry hacking or downloads required.
AHHHHHH....much better....It worked.
Can't believe I missed it, I looked there three times! It was there all along!
