The utility aim is to make rapidly starting applications and more convenient than that one realized by standard Windows XP.

In Microsoft operating system basis the programs starting is launched by "Start" button. Its central failure is a constant change in the shortcuts order arrangement. For example, if user remove several programs from system, then shortcut for application launch in menu is necessary moved, and to search it you must spend some time. The same occurs, when new programs are installed.

Vista Start Menu proposes its own menu to launch applications, in which each shortcut has its place. Therefore you always can be assured that shortcut for your favorite game is the second on top, and under it, shortcut for text editor. If application is removed from the system, its place in the menu stay empty, i.e., shortcuts for other programs are not moved. The new empty place can be occupied only by new application, which will be installed later.

A constant shortcuts arrangement is the main, but only special feature of Vista Start Menu. Menu for applications launch includes convenient commands for quick files search on hard disk and Internet, large, visual buttons for standby, shutdown and restart computer and user logon. In addition to this, there is a supplementary hot key for quick passage to startup folder and command line window, which always near and needed.

Navigation on menu, in comparison with "Start", is also substantially improved. First, it is possible to increase and decrease menu icons size, which can be useful to people with weak sight. In the second place, it is possible to navigate without mouse aid, all shortcuts into Vista Start Menu are divided in blocks with nine pieces. Each block has its letter designation - A, B, C, etc, while each shortcut within block framework has numerical designation from 1 to 9. To reach the necessary shortcut, it is necessary to only press two buttons, for example, with C and 4. Finally, for long menu, in which many applications, scrolling is allowed.
