Menus - Modifying the Start Menu
You can add existing programs you use often, such as File Explorer, to the Start menu for faster access.
You are not installing the program, just enabling the user to access the program from the Start menu.
You can add a program to the Start Menu three ways: directly by using the Menus setting, or creating and
pasting shortcuts in File Explorer on the terminal or the workstation (and using ActiveSync to transfer to
the shortcut to the terminal).
Note: Only seven applications total are allowed on the Start menu.
Using the Menu System Setting
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab > Menus > Start Menu tab.
2. Tap the check box for the program you want to add and tap OK to save.
3. Tap the Start menu to verify that the program appears on it.
Using File Explorer
If you do not see the program listed, you can either use File Explorer to move the program or ActiveSync
on the desktop computer to create a shortcut to the program and place the shortcut in the Start Menu
folder.
Note: We recommend that you Copy and Paste Shortcut so that you do not alter your program configurations by
accident. Using Copy and Paste Shortcut (as opposed to Cut/Copy and Paste) ensures that the program files
remain where they need to be for the system to find them to perform system functions.
1. Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer, and navigate to the program.
File Explorer opens to My Documents by default; to see a list of all folders, tap the folder name and
then My Device.
2. In File Explorer, navigate to the \Program Files folder. Tap and hold on a program, then select Copy
on the pop-up menu.
