Hello Paolo,

I've registered this problem also with all other Windows versions
of POV-Ray up to POV-Ray 3.7beta21a.
I don't remember if the critical number was exactly 2000 but
it may be right in this region.

Unfortunately I don't have a final solution for this problem.
My personal collection of Insert Menu contains over 10000 items.
For a really comfortable use of the Insert Menu there should be
no limits for additional items (except the space on the hard disk !-).

I currently split my Insert Menu in different folders and change
between "Insert Menu", "Insert Menu2", "Insert Menu3" etc. by renaming
the folder I currently need in the POV-Ray Windows editor
via "Insert" - "Edit this menu" - "folders" to folder name "Insert Menu"
which can be browsed with POV-Ray Windows editor.

Another way to live with this problem is to rename the more important
item groups with "Edit this menu" and give these groups higher
prefix numbers.
