   You intend to run a program or start an app, but you don't know what it   
   is called?  Hmm, seems you need Copilot.  I disabled it, so I don't know   
   if click Start will do a Copilot search, but you could add or leave   
   displayed the Search box in the taskbar.  For me, clicking Start or   
   using the Search box did the same search, so I got rid of the Search box   
   to give more room in the taskbar.   
      
   You want to use CCleaner.  Click Start and enter "ccleaner" (actually   
   will show a popup list as you type from which you can choose before even   
   completing your input).   
      
   You want to use Word.  Click Start and enter "word".   
      
   You want to use Calculator.  Click Start and enter "calc".   
      
   You want to change the DPI.  Click Start and enter "dpi".  Settings will   
   be a choice.   
      
   You should know what you want; else, how would the Start Manu -> All   
   programs be of any help since you won't know what to look for?
