 When you click on the Start button Vista, you will see a list of items in a gray area that will take you to your Documents, Computer, Music, and other areas and functions in your computer. This area is often overlooked by the end user, but it can be very useful if you customize it to contain just the items you use. The process is easy. Here's what to do.
The Start Menu in Vista by default contains only a few useful items. You can add more quite easily. Just right-click any blank area of the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Then select Properties, and click the Start Menu tab. Then choose Customize. You will be presented a fairy long list of choices. You may want to add the Printers as well as the Run command, if you use it. You can also remove items and can control how many items appear. When you are finished click OK, click Apply, and then click OK.
You can play with this area as much as you like. If you are not happy with your changes, just go back to the Customize page and click on the button that says "Use Default Settings". This will return the Start menu to the way it was before you began.
