Not 100% sure, but my first thing is always to go for classic since
otherwise, windows will, for example, auto hide what it calls unused items,
etc.
In any case some of those things, like printers etc. will be under the
settings section - HTH.

Hi Jacob,
I had never played around in this area and so I followed your steps to see
what would happen. After opening customize, I tabbed over to Advanced
Start
Menu Options. In here i checked Expand My Pictures, Expand Printers, &
Expand Network Connections. I then okayed my way out and restarted the
computer. After the computer was re-booted I didn't see any changes in
the
start menu, on the desktop, or in the settings option in the start menu.
Did I do something wrong or am I not looking in the right places to see
the
changes made by checking the 3 boxes that I mentioned above? All advice
will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, take care.
Mike

Also, depending on your OS etc., one of the first things I do after
starting
using a machine for the first time is hit the windows key, hit escape so
that the start button has focus, right click on it and hit enter on
properties, and in that dialogue I make sure it's set to classic start
menu,
and then tab over to the customise button and hit space on it, and in the
new dialogue that then pops up you find a list of items to display,
including things like control panel etc. etc. and after turning them on,
tab
to ok, hit space, tab to other ok, and hit space, and then, you'd find
things like the control panel under settings.
This is all on win XP, but anyway - one day I'll move up to windows 7 or
something.
Stay well

Yes, it sounds so.
Try going to Start >run (hit the letter R for a quick key) > type
control > hit enter.
This should bring up the control panel.
then try looking for user acounts.

When I opened my windows program I found only two settings that are

1. Uninst, (uninstall)
2.Usdpad, something to do with notepad.
Am I in the wrong part of town?
