    What does your Start Menu look like?

    Is yours neat and tidy?

    I'm astoundingly proud of mine because its usually in a right mess.

    Show us what yours is like!

    I organize mine into sub-folders such as games, audio-video, design, programming rather than having a huge list of individual apps/games. Much much neater and I find quicker and easier to navigate.

    Well, we have the traditional start menu, although it isn't actually traditional. Also this computer has been setup for no more than 10 hours, so as of yet it's quite tidy.



    However, Kez' computer also features the side menu.



    Which, upon mouse-over, does this sorta thing:



    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Zak33, it's running on Aston Shell

    www.astonshell.com

    Best $30 you'll ever spend.

    There are a LOT of themes:

    http://www.astonshell.com/skins/inde...show=10&sort=2

    Here's the one I'm using right now (used to use one called Insignia) :

    http://www.astonshell.com/skins/rate...=288&section=0

    Aston isn't a hold-your-hand type shell - it needs tweaking to get it just the way you want it. The start menu is tied into the same windows start menu system, but all other menu's need setting up in Aston, which takes a bit of time and getting used to. Aston 2 is due out soon too.

    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I'm looking for other monochrome wallpapers to go with it... I like the bird, but I'm sure I'll get bored...

    Ugh, how can you people not sort alphabetically??? It's just...wrong!

    Personally I don't use the start menu that much, all my main stuff lives in my taskbar..then just because of the way things are at work, network directories live in the start menu proper not in the programs bit.

    Oh well, whatever makes you efficient I guess!
    Well Hello!
