Starting Windows XP
The Start Menu and Taskbar made their debut in Windows 95, remaining with us in each of the Windows versions that have found their way onto our computers. Some users prefer the Start Menu for the majority of their work while others find the Taskbar more convenient. Which method you prefer will influence the options, style, layout, and items selected and placed for quick access. Both the Start Menu and Taskbar offer extensive customization features to accommodate various work habits and preferences.
