Windows XP Start Menu & Control Panel

Most of the control panels, utilities and programs within Windows XP 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. The Control Panel 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 control panels for many of the fea-
tures, however many new control panels are added (or existing ones are enhanced) when you install the drivers listed
in Table 6
