XP: Let's start from here

Getting to know the Start Menu

After the computer is booted up, the Windows desktop appears in front of us. Careful readers may find that the entire interface is divided into two parts, the icon area above and the taskbar area below. The icons on the desktop and the icons on the taskbar are all changeable. For each of these computers, there are more or less different ones, but all computers with Windows systems will not have a start menu in the lower left corner. The importance of the start menu in the Windows system is visible.

In the Start menu you can launch programs installed on almost any computer, set up your computer, find files, log off your computer, shut down or restart your computer. A start menu contains almost all the computer operations, so it is easy to operate the computer with the use of the start menu.

Starting the menu is very simple. Put the mouse on the start button in the lower left corner of the screen and press the left mouse button to open the start menu (Figure 1). If we want to start the program, you can do this: Put the mouse on "All Programs", this will automatically pop up all the programs installed on the computer, start that, click on it.

Personalization

The start menu in XP comes in two forms, XP and Classic. The classic style is the same as the 9X and 2000 start menus we used before. The XP type of start menu has undergone major changes, mainly for us to access the Internet, email and some more frequently used programs. Relatively speaking, XP is more user-friendly and intelligent, and it is recommended for everyone to use. But if you are used to the traditional start menu, you can also use the classic. For the choice between the two, you can right click on the start button, select "Properties", open the "Start Menu" settings window, which provides us with two forms of process introduction, which one to use, you choose that, then Click "OK".
