Customise your Vista-based Start Menu with Start++

Grab140_2 Although the Vista Start Menu does differ slightly from the previous XP revision, there aren't too many new enhancements and it's just organised differently, rather than anything radical. However, those ingenious third party developers have been working updates to the Vista Start Menu that add further customisation.

Start++ 0.7.5 is a tool that will enable you to customise your Vista Start Menu by adding new functionality to the area where you'd normally find and launch applications. For instance, you could use this area to show the local weather, an image or something depending on a keystroke that you enter in to the command prompt, or similar. You can configure Start++ to perform different functions depending on specific keystrokes.
