    In Windows XP I could take the steps below to access the start menu:

    ·         Open Windows Explorer

    ·         Open C:

    ·         Open Documents and Settings

    ·         Open Keith (My user name)

     

    I have since upgraded to Windows Vista and I’m unable to locate the same folder, are there a different set of steps that need to be taken to change the start menu In Windows Vista?

    There are a few different ways the start menu can be accessed in Windows Vista:

     

    ·         Open Windows Explorer

    ·         Open C

    ·         Open Users

    ·         Open Keith (provided this is the same user name)

    ·         Open AppData

    ·         Open Roaming

    ·         Open Microsoft

    ·         Open Windows

     

    From here we will see a folder titled “Start Menu”

     

    Another, way to access this “Start Menu” folder would be to:

     

    ·         Right click the Start Pearl

    ·         Select ‘Explore’ or ‘Open’

    ·         From here the ‘Start Menu’ should be open

     

    If you need to make modifications to the Start Menu for multiple users:

     

    ·         Right click the ‘Start Pearl’

    ·         Select ‘Explore all Users ’ or ‘Open all User’
