Start menu
Activate classic start menu: If you prefer the classic Windows start menu, you
may restore it here. Settings that are listed below are deleted automatically and
grayed out.
Show the "Log off" button: If several people use your computer, you may
select to display the "log off" button; this makes it easier to switch between
users.
Number of recently opened documents: Specify how many files should
appear in the list of recently opened documents.
Control the behavior of the start menu submenus: Here you can set whether
the start menu submenus are opened by a click or are opened automatically
after a certain time.
Task bar
Activate Windows tips (speech balloons): Windows sends short messages
when an event is detected, but simply informative messages may not be
required. If you don't want these messages, then deactivate them here.
Display the info area in task bar: To the extreme right of the taskbar, you can
see the area with the clock, volume controller, etc. Inactive programs are
hidden and may be accessed via the arrow. If you would like to show the info
area all of the time, then activate this feature.
Group similar elements: Design the taskbar to be more clearly laid-out; when
multiple elements are opened (windows), thee may be grouped together. For
example, all text documents may be grouped in one tab.

Microsoft default state.
