Windows XP Start Menu & Control Panel
Most of the control panels, utilities and programs within Windows XP (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. You can customize the look of
the Start menu by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Properties from the 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 XP 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. To see
all controls it may be necessary to toggle off Category View.
