Customizing the classic Start Menu

Just as it is possible to customize the new Start panel, it is possible to make changes to the classic Start Menu to make it look the way you want. Not as many things can be done to customize the classic Start Menu as can be done to customize the Start panel, but still a handful of features can be customized.

To get started, assume that you want to display your expanding Internet Explorer Favorites menu directly on your Start Menu. I will walk you through how to turn this feature on or off and will then provide you with more information on all of the different features that are available on the same screen. Follow these steps to start customizing:

1. Use your mouse to right-click the Start Menu and select Properties. This will bring up the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties screen.

2. Click the lower Customize button to bring up the Customize Classic Start Menu
properties.

3. Now you will see a list of all of the different features available in the Advanced Start Menu options box. You can scroll through this box to view all of the different features.
Locate the Display Favorites option and check it to enable it.

4. Click the OK button to save your changes.

5. Click the OK button once more to exit the Properties window.

That's it. As you can see, customizing the Start Menu is very easy. If you want to disable a feature, just uncheck it.
