In
Figure 2-9, there??™s a single shortcut to Explorer, but you can place any
type of shortcut here, and even include folders for further organization.
Figure 2-8. Minimalists may appreciate a clean, uncluttered Start menu like this one
56 | Chapter 2: Shell Tweaks
These entries are merely the shortcuts stored in your personal Start
Menu folder:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu
and the common (or ???All users???) folder here:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
To get to these folders quickly, right-click the Start button and select
Explore. Inside each of these locations is a Programs folder, containing
the items shown in the Programs menu, discussed next.
Programs
At the top of the lower section is a single entry, Programs, which is the
???classic??? counterpart to the All Programs menu covered in the previous
section.
When there are too many items in the Programs menu to fit on the
screen, one of two things can happen. Either the menu ???scrolls,??? which
means you have to use the tiny arrows at the top and bottom of the menu
to navigate, or the items are clumsily spread across multiple columns. To
change this, right-click the Start button, select Properties, click Customize,
and turn on or off the Scroll programs option. While you??™re here, you
can also turn off the Use Personalized Menus option, which instructs
Windows to stop hiding program icons you haven??™t used recently.
