Taskbar, Notification Area and Start Menu
Customizing Start Menu

You can modify the appearance of the Start menu as a means of personalizing your desktop.

By default, the Computer command is shown on the Start menu. This command serves as a link to open the Computer window. Using the Customize Start Menu dialog box, you can change the behavior of the Computer command from a button to a menu. By changing the behavior of the Computer command to a menu, instead of opening the Computer window, it will display the items normally appearing in the Computer window as menu items for you to select.
