What is the Windows Start Button?
Quick Contents
Introduction
Windows 95, 98, NT and later use the Start button. The Windows Start button is on the bottom left corner of your desktop on the TaskBar. The Start button is what you click on to begin almost any task on your computer.A single left-click on the Start button opens the Start menu. In the Programs section of the Start menu, you have access to many of the applications on your computer. In the Settings section of the Start Menu you can access your computer's settings, printer, TaskBar and Start Menu options. From the Start menu you can also Shut Down your computer and install programs.
If you right-click your mouse on the Start button, a local menu appears. Two items on this menu are particularly useful:
- Open: clicking this item opens the Start Menu folder as a window on your desktop. The Start Menu folder contains a Programs shortcut you can double-left-click to open your Programs folder as a window on your desktop. This is an alternate method for accessing your programs and documents.
- Explore: clicking this item opens the Windows Explorer.
