What Does This Mean!?!?!
I think I have been told what causes this problem already, but I just need
clarity and one of you experts will clear this up in no time. Every time I turn on my laptop PC, in the "Start Menu", it seems that all of the Icons have changed positions or some new icons have taken the place of previous Icons that were there the previous time I used the laptop. It seems like whatever program or programmes I was using last before I shut down the PC, both program(mes) and their Icons seem to show in the start menu. Can anyone tell me what causes this strange phenomenon!?!? And how I can fix it? -- andy t |

And how I can fix it? -- andy t Ok andy t The left part of the start menu display shows a list of you most recently used programs, the order will change depending on how many programs you run and which ones. the programs you run most will move up the list and less used programs will drop down the list. if you start using a new program or using one more often then it will be added to this list and the least used program will drop off the list. This is by design so that the programs you need most will always be available and the list will reflect usage changes as they develop. saying this you may switch off this feature by right clicking on the start orb and selecting properties if you then remove the tick next to "store and display a list of recently opened programs". If you select customise on this menu there is an entry on the next screen which allows you to adjust how many items are kept on this list. Also at the top of the left list of recently used programs are permanent programs which do not move. you may add items here by dragging a shortcut to the start orb or dragging an item into the top area from the changing part. A working method for using this function is to add those programs you use most to the fixed part of the list and to set the bottom variable part to a lower number than the default. hope this clarifies things -- barman58 Regards, *Nigel* the beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand.,- frank herbert |
