The Start menu is perhaps the most frequently used menu in the Windows operating system environment. This menu provides access to all programs installed on the computer, and is also the shortest path to the standard folders for documents, music, pictures and videos. Turning on the Start menu is usually straightforward, even for someone who sees Windows for the first time.
Instructions
Step 1
The standard graphics of the Windows operating system assumes that the Start menu enable button is located in the lower left corner of the screen. In versions of Windows from Windows 95 to Windows XP, the button had the word “Start” written on it and also had a window logo. In the Windows 7 operating system, the Start button is the Windows logo inscribed in a circle.
This button is part of the so-called Taskbar, but which you can see the buttons of all currently running programs, icons of programs, utilities and services running in the background, as well as the clock icon. The start menu is activated by a simple mouse click on the corresponding button.
Step 2
You can also enable the Start menu without using the cursor. To enable this menu on the keyboards of most computers with a pre-installed Windows system, there is a "Start" button. This button is located in the lowest row of keys, between the Alt and Ctrl keys (on laptops, between the Fn and Alt keys). Pressing this key activates the Start menu, which in some cases minimizes programs running in full screen mode. In addition, the Start button provides many functional keyboard shortcuts for faster work in the Windows environment. In most operating systems, there are analogs of the Start menu, their activation is carried out according to the same principles.
Step 3
In addition, the Start button provides many functional keyboard shortcuts for faster work in the Windows environment. For example, combining the Start key with the D key minimizes all open windows, and the Start key combination with the L key quits Windows. In most operating systems, there are analogs of the "Start" menu, their inclusion is carried out in a similar way.
