Start Menu Tips

NEW ITEMS ON THE WINDOWS 98 START MENU

One of the new items added to the Start Menu by Windows 98 (or Internet Explorer version 4 running on top of Windows 95) is the Favorites folder. This menu contains shortcuts to any World Wide Web sites which you have chosen to bookmark in your internet browser. You can thus easily go to that web site by clicking on it. If you are not currently connected to the internet via your browser, it will automatically start up.

Another addition to the Start Menu, only by Windows 98, is Windows Update. This allows you go to Microsoft's Windows 98 Update web page, where you can automatically download any patches or other enhancements to the operating system that Microsoft has made available.
