Here's a quick tutorial on how to change your Windows XP Start Menu to suit your needs. Basically, the Start Menu has four sections: The pinned items at the top left, the recently used programs at the bottom left, the "My..." folders at the top "right and the Windows settings at the bottom right. Here's what my menu looks like:Now you might have noticed a couple of things that might be different from your Start Menu. First off, there is a lot of crap on my Start menu and that's because I have a couple of programs that I run very often and like to make sure are on the Start menu at all time (the top left "pinned" items). Secondly, I increased the number of recently used programs to show 10 instead of the default. At the top right, I have all of the My XXXX folders listed that I used most often.

The Windows XP Start menu located at the bottom left of your screen is a portal to everything on your computer such as the programs, music folders and other media folders.

Andreas Verhoeven from AeroXperience (www.aeroxp.org) brings us a really sweet add-on for Vista. I know I am tired from the pretty but yet static user icon on the start menu - so with some clever programming he brings us back what Microsoft threw out in the first place. I'll let the following video speak for itself (watch the User Icon at the top right side!). If you cannot see the start menu, please press play at the bottom! It's a short video: All you have to do in order to get the same effect is run the little app. Do note that the application dynamically loads itself into explorer.exe (for which you might need elevated rights or be logged in as administrator). Because of this, the smallest mistake in this application will make explorer.exe go down. So, do I need to say: You use this application at your own risk! If you want this running at all times - just add it to your Startup folder :) Via: AeroXperience forums (www.aeroxp.com) (this thread)Get the app
