Start Menu Add or Remove Shortcuts Customise

The Start Menu can be a very useful tool, and it is customizable

For example if you use regularly a Program which is listed in the All programs section you can Pin this to the Start Menu list on the left‐hand side, which is visible when you click Start

To do this open all programs select the program you wish Right click it and select Pin to Start menu A shortcut is then pasted to the opening left column.

Much easier than scrolling through the All Program list.

You can also have displayed on the left programs which you have recently used

Or for privacy reasons, especially if you share your computer with others, you may not want people to know the names of software packages you use the most.
