Just curious. I am running Windows XP on this particular machine right now. Is your start menu organized?

for me it doesn't matter how it looks like, cause i am using windows 7 and every app that i need, i just type name and it pops up.only program that i have "pinned" is chrome, for other programs i use "start search" or i just keep them in RocketDock. but w/ one program pinned, the rest would be placed w/ apps you recently used, which for me is., kinda messy, insignificant and cluttered-looking. so at least, I pin my favorite apps. but anyway, it always depends on the user.. I use the same too. "start search" Does rocket dock work well for you? I had a lot of problems with it, it slowed down my boot time considerably and several of the apps wouldn't load. I finally gave up and uninstalled it. That was on my Windows 7 laptop, of course. @xedric14 I only one pinned app and that is only app what i look for when i open start, practically i don't even see other apps, if im looking for chrome i just click on start and chrome, and when i am looking for other most of the time i write their name before start even opens :P @MacManDerek it works quite well for me, and i personally prefer to open it manually when i log in into my computer, cause in that way it doesn't slows down "boot time", and i have time to do that, and one other thing is that i rarely shut down or reset my computer, i only do it when it is required because of updates. P.S. I am not native in English so i apologize for eventual mistakes in upper text :) 1
oh yea, I forgot you can also turn that feature off. haha yah, agree it's clean, it's minimalist and cool. as i've said, I would have done the same. but it freaks everybody out to find that the only thing installed in my computer is Chrome. they think lowly of my laptop. and i don't want that. :P and i;m not english too.. i'm from asia. :) |

BTW: Here is my new Desktop at home running Windows 7. I just got it so I don't have very many programs installed.

I prefer the classic look in Winndows 7. I have had better performance with it. Most programs I use are in the administrative tools, but I like to keep the rest simple.

I have a thing with the Grass background from OS X haha @Pizzscn do you have a SMART Board? I don't. I was using my school issued laptop at the time and they have SMART software on them for the classroom smartboards. |

i use winstep xtreme to have a nexus dock on the rightside of my screen, a workshelf on the bottom of the screen, and nextstart to replace the windows taskbar at the top of the screen. my startmenu is organized like this.
