As you can see from the image, it even shows system files and folder. Also unlike Start menu’s in Vista and XP where you have to click on “Programs” to show you all the installed programs which you have in your PC, the Vista Start Menu opens the “Program” group or slide by default thus saving you one mouse click when you open an application from the “Program’s” menu. There is also a quick start group where you can put in all the applications that you access frequently. All the applications in the start menu have a shortcut, if you examine the previous images carefully you will notice that there is a small straight line passing through the applications menu after certain intervals.
These straight lines divide the “Program” menu into groups. The first group has “A” assigned as its shortcut so if you will press “A” you will be automatically taken to the first group and then all the applications in the first group will have a number assigned to them, pressing that number either launches that application or takes you to the sub group of the application. These shortcuts work only when you use the “Windows” key to access the start menu.
