   Start menu.

   	Good morning, Alan.   
      
    AZ> 'Classic Start Menu' is usually used (even by Microsoft) to refer to the   
    AZ> Win95/98 style menu instead of the WinXP default style with a front panel   
   that   
    AZ> you can pin a few favorites on plus a lower section with most-recently   
    AZ> used programs.   
      
   	Good definition.   
      
    AZ> XP has a 'classic Start Menu' option; that was dropped in Vista and Win   
    AZ> 7. Now, in Win 8 there's no (Microsoft supported) Start Menu at all -   
    AZ> though the 'Modern Interface' tiles screen is sometimes referred to as   
    AZ> the Start Menu.   
      
   	You know what ? I had never changed this menu as I was thoroughly satisfied   
   with the default. This said, as I still had this old XP box connected, I fired   
   it up and had a peek at this Classic menu and then decided that the default,   
   to me, was better. The old box was still connected as I was away for a while   
   and I wanted then to test Wintype on it. Fun to go back in time to XP.   
      
   	I hope that Tom reads this, he has been silent for a few days.   
      
   NB: the Air user is still not watching her fingers and what they do. She had   
   changed the screen background unknowingly (?). It took me a while to rectify   
   this faux-pas but the PC experience helped me in so doing. Still, to me again,   
   more intuitive on my beloved machine.   
      
   	$700.00 US for a share, good on them but it is not the computor market that   
   did this, the iPhone 5 is the culprit. ;-)
