Microsoft Windows has gone through several changes over its history. One of the additions with Windows 95 was the Start menu. This menu allowed users to have one central place to access most of the files and programs on their computer. The Start menu has changed its look over the last four variations of Windows, but its basic functionality has remained the same. Users still use this menu as the main access point to the rest of the computer.
