If you want a better windows start menu, look no further than Vista Start Menu. Despite the name, it works in all versions of Windows (Vista, XP, 2003, 2000, and NT). It greatly improves the look, speed, and customization of the Windows start menu. It allows you to organize programs in tabs, use commands from the menu itself, and even zoom into the menu for better viewing. If you want to give it a try, but you don't want to make any long-term commitments, it's very easy to check out. It does change any system settings, so it's bery easy to uninstall.
