CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying start_menu.htm to your appropriate Windows system directory. Microsoft typically does not release Windows HTM files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing start_menu.htm and all other HTM files for Windows. An incorrectly installed HTM file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
