Control Panel, The Easy Way!


If you are any kind of PC Tweaker like me, you spend way too much time inside the Control Panel.  One of the problems we've had with past versions of Windows was the several layers of clicks you'd have to do in order to get into the depths of Control Panel, especially with the category as opposed to classic view of the panel that was the default with Vista.

With Windows 7 you can customize the start menu to help with this.

To do this:

  • Rick-Click the Start Button.



  • Click on Properties.


  • This opens the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties.  Click on Customize.


  • This will open the Customize Start Menu, box, in the Control Panel selection, click on the circle next to Display as a menu, Then his OK.


  • Go to your Start Button, and you will notice that the Control Panel now will have an arrow pointing to the right, if you select it you will see everything that would be in the control panel window.


I hope this saves you from clicking through a series of menus just to get to where you need to be.  If you have any questions please Email me at William@Techsupportman.com
