The Start Menu
The Start Menu, not be confused with
the StartUp Menu, is the usual starting point for most Windows activities,
and has become more important and versatile in every subsequent version
of Windows. Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and the Classic mode of XP/Windows
2003 all display a menu similar to the one in Figure 19.

The available options will
depend on the version of the Operating System in use, its configuration
and the applications installed. To alter the appearance and options
available in the Start Menu and task bar, right click anywhere on the
task bar (the grey area to the right of the Start button). Figure 20
will appear.

Clicking Properties displays
the dialog in Figure 21.

The options available here
are self-explanatory, except for the Use Personalized Menus
option. This was introduced in Windows 2000 as a means of hiding little-used
menu options and applications to reduce the clutter in the
Start menu. It has the side effect of hiding applications and options
somewhat at random, which gives it the amazing ability to confuse even
the most intelligent user. It is recommended that you uncheck this
option, not least to save panicked phone calls from users asking where
their applications have gone!
