Customise your Start menu - Windows Tweaks

Customise your Start menu

There's a number of options you can choose to make the Start menu a bit friendlier. For example, for faster access to Control Panel applications and your network details, you can expand their entries in the Start menu.

1. Right-click on an empty space on the task bar, and then click on Properties
2. Click on the Start Menu tab. Click the active Customize button
* If you're using the Classic Start Menu, select Expand Control Panel and Expand Network Connections
* If you're using the standard Start Menu, in the Control Panel section select Display as a menu. Network Connections sadly doesn't obey the same behaviour here, but you can do the next best thing and set it to link to the right place — under the Network Connections section, select Link to Network Connections folder
3. Click OK, then OK again to effect the changes
