How do you start the programs on your computer? Click on an icon on the desktop? Select from Start - All Programs? How about using the Start Menu? What is the Start Menu? When you click the Start button the Start Menu pops up. The upper portion of the Start Menu is a customizable section where you can drag and drop icons for the programs you use most often to make them easily accessible.
By modifying this process a little you can make the Start Menu even more efficient. First, create an shortcut on your desktop to the program you want. (ie Word 2003). Rename the icon to 1 - Word 2003. Now drag and drop the new icon to the Start Button. When you click the Start Button you will see your new item in the upper menu. You can now remove any icons that start Word from your desktop. When you want to use Word, click the Start Button and then click on your 1 - Word 2003 entry. Or better yet, hit the Windows Key and then the "1" key to start Word 2003. What could be easier than that?
