Create an organized list to help customize the start menu layout:

1. Create folders:
   Start off by creating folders for all of the areas that are important to you, such as work, music, video, personal, etc. This helps you keep different types of content organization.
2. Organize items into folders:
   After the folders are created, start by organizing items and applications into the correct folders. This will help you easily find items when you need them.
3. Hide items and folders:
   Not everything needs to be shown on the start menu. With the ability to hide items, you can easily find what you're looking for without anything that is unnecessary.
4. Pin items:
   Based off of your personal preferences, pin the items that you use the most to the start menu. This will make it easier to find the items you use the most without having to search.
5. Make changes as needed:
   Move items around, add new items, or remove what you don't need or don't use. This way, you will always have the start menu that is ideal for you.
