What is a Menu?

A menu is a group of related commands that tells Windows 7 what you want to do. Menu commands are organized in logical groups. For example, all the commands related to starting your work in Windows 7 are on the Start menu. The names of the available menus appear in the Start menu or on the menu bar in an application window.
