explain the Window exeplor sub-menu from the program menu
Answers
Explanation:
To make the Windows Vista Start menu really work for you, you need to understand the All Programs submenu. This may come as a shock, but the All Programs submenu on your Start menu doesn’t actually contain all the programs on your computer. (That explains why you can’t always find the programs you’re looking for.) If you want to make your All Programs submenu easier to use, you need to understand how Vista puts this list together.
Every time you choose Start→All Programs, Windows reaches into four folders and assembles the entire tangled mess you see on-screen. Items on the All Programs menu come from combining the contents of four folders:
C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu
C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms
C:UsersAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu
C:UsersAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuPrograms
So, for example, if you’re logged on as the user Duangkhae, every time you choose Start→All Programs, the menu items you see come from the four folders, with Duangkhae substituted for in the final two.
Let’s look what you have in these folders. Right-click the Start menu and choose Explore. Vista opens Windows Explorer at your AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu folder. If you right-click Start and choose Explore All Users, you’re magically transported to ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu.
In the following figure, you can see the contents of a very simple ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu folder.
