This tip works in Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Start\/All apps).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n The other day I was working on our newsletter and I needed to open MS Word. Well, I don’t have a shortcut for it simply because I have so many shortcuts already – and I hide my desktop shortcuts to create an aura of good housekeeping.<\/span><\/p>\n I have a lot of programs installed – too many. Maybe you do too. Windows 10 Start menu is very nice but – if you have a lot of programs and apps like I do – scrolling from the A’s to the W’s to get to Word takes a lot of scrolling. And if you’re using Windows 11, and you click on “All Apps” in the Start menu, you can use this tip as well.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n I like to use tricks that make my computer life easier. When I started scrolling down from the A’s to the W’s, my brain engaged, and I remembered a little trick that saved me time and it will save you time too – if you have a ton of programs installed.<\/span><\/p>\n I’m going to open Word. So, I open the Start menu…<\/span><\/p>\n And instead of scrolling from the top of the Start menu to the bottom, all I have to do is click any header… like #, A, B, etc…<\/span><\/p>\n And when I do, the alphabet dialog appears…<\/span><\/p>\n Then all I need to do is click on the first letter of the program I want to open. In this case “W” and wham! I’m right where I want to be. And while I still have to click on Word to open it, I’m right where I need to be in the Start menu without all that scrolling<\/span><\/p>\n I went from A to W in one click… see?<\/span><\/p>\n The next time you open your Start menu and you’re looking for a program that’s alphabetically down near the bottom of the list, use this quick and easy tip to jump right to it.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Zip Through Your Start Menu Faster This tip works in Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Start\/All apps).
