Windows Vista Start Menu & Control Panel
Most of the control panels, utilities and programs within Windows Vista (and most other Windows versions) are
accessed from the Start menu. When you install programs and utilities they will be installed on your hard disk
drive, and a shortcut will usually be placed in the Start menu and/or the desktop. Right-click the Start menu
icon , and then select Properties if you want to customize the appearance of the Start menu.
In many instances throughout this manual you will see an instruction to open the Control Panel . The Control
Panel is accessed from the Start menu, and it allows you to configure the settings for most of the key features
in Windows (e.g. power, video, network, audio etc.). Windows Vista provides basic controls for many of the fea-
tures, however many new controls are added (or existing ones are enhanced) when you install the drivers listed
in
Table 4 - 1, on page 4 - 3 . To see all controls it may be necessary to toggle to Classic View on.
