Can any one tell me how to customize my start menu ?
Right click on the Task Bar and go to Properties. In the dialog box that just poped up, click on the Start Menu tab. I have mine on "Start Menu". Now click on Customize. On the dialog that comes up, you may choose what options you wish, then go to the Advanced tab. This is where you really put on what you want (or take off). Look though and decide what you would like to see everytim e you click your Start button. When your done, press OK, then OK again. Hit your start button and see how it looks!
