After a while, the Start menu is filled with all sorts of applications so that it's somethings hard to find a particular one that you want to open. One way of organizing them is to create sub-folders. But the downside is that you have to do multiple clicks to open an application. There is a helper if you don't organize them in sub-folders though. Click "Start", then "All Programs", and then type the first letter of the application you want, if there is only one such application that matches, it will automatically load. If there are multiple matching ones, repeat typing that first letter and the highlight will jump through all matchings ones. This makes it easier for you to locate the program. Click it or hit "Enter" once you see the one you want.
