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 features,
however many new controls are added (or existing ones are enhanced) when you
install the. To see all controls it may be necessary to toggle to Classic View on.
