Q:
How do I add items to my Start Menu?
A:
As you know, the Start Menu is the control center of your PC accessed by clicking
the "Start" button down in the lower left-hand corner or by typing
the Window key. Adding items to it isn't that difficult.
Since there are two sides
to the Start Menu, let's start with the left...
If the item you want to
add is a shortcut, then find it on your desktop or open "All Programs"
then right-click and choose "Pin to Start Menu"
Go to your Start Menu and
the new item should be there.
You can also drag items
down to the Start button, wait for the menu to open, then place it in the upper
left list.
Now for the right side...
Right-click
the "Start" button and choose "Properties". Click the "Customize"
button then the "Advanced" tab.
You'll see a list of items
that you can add or remove from the Start Menu such as My Music, My Pictures,
and more. You also have the option to display as links or menus. When you're
done, click OK to save changes.
So go ahead and add your
own personal touch to the Start Menu.
