In this case, by right-clicking on an icon on the Task Bar or Start Menu, you pull up a menu that has options for that program (open new instance, close instance, etc.) and a short history of documents opened with that program, if applicable. You can 'Pin' links to documents at the top of this list for quick access.Quote:Bob Schroeck wrote:What does that mean?
The ability to "pin" favorite documents to the icon for an app right on the startup menu is very useful.
Very handy indeed. Microsoft did their homework when it comes to flexibility in the User Friendly department.
As for not being able to edit the contents of your Start Menu... Let me look into that.
Meanwhile, here's a quick fix. Create a folder in your documents for shortcuts to games, utilities, whatever. Then, make a link to that folder on your Desktop, or just pin it to the Task Bar like you would for a shortcut in XP's Quick Launch bar. Ta-da! It may not be in menu form, but it's a start. And I think even that can be fixed.
Like I said, I'll play around with it and see what I can do. Microsoft honestly tried with this version of Windows, and I intend to find all the nifty little tricks you can do with it.
