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