Quick overview:
In addition to the many design changes that Windows XP has to offer, the user is also presented with a completely redesigned Start menu. Recently used programs are arranged in the left-hand column, standard Windows folders such as My Documents or Control Panel can be found on the right.
If you don't like this new start menu, you can go back to the Win95/NT/98/ME/2K roots.
1. Right-click on a free area of the taskbar. From the menu that pops up, select Properties.
2. Now select the tab Start menuselect the option Classic start menu and click on Ok.

If you want to switch to Start click, the good old start menu appears.
Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in 2001, his helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write for international publications such as PC-Praxis, Computerbild, PCWorld in the USA, IMTEST.de and Hifi.de. Sandro's main job is as Global Product Marketing Lead and Consultant for various global tech companies, including Microsoft, AVG, Avast, Nero, TeamViewer, Swiss IT Security Group and now currently in the fintech sector for Gendigital. But he can't get rid of his passion and shares his tweaks here again. Privately, he enjoys traveling the world and loves Asia, especially Japan, Singapore and Korea, but also natural places like Iceland and the Nordics. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
