Customize Start Menu in Windows 10

Open the Start menu by clicking the Start button. On the right are all programs and apps on the PC. Directly above the Home button are icons. These refer to, among other things, the Settings, the Pictures folder and the Documents folder. Adjust this list as desired. For example, remove references to little-used directories and replace them with useful links.

Customize the list above the Start button like this:

• Click on the Start button.
• Right-click one of the icons above the Start button. Do not click on your account icon. This icon cannot be changed.
• click on Edit this list.
• The “Choose which folders to show in Start” menu opens. Here are all options with sliders below. If the button is blue and has the text ‘On’ next to it, that folder is shown above the Start button.
• For example, it is useful to include the Explorer in the list. To do this, click under ‘Explorer’ on from.
• The slider turns blue and the text changes to ‘On’. The button has been added to the list above the Home button.

Turn off folders you no longer want to show by pressing On to click. The slider turns white and the text ‘Off’ appears. The folders you disable here are not gone by the way. They just don’t show above the Start button anymore.
