| Prior to the introduction of the Start menu, [[Program Manager]] offered similar functionality using an MDI window. The peculiarities of [[Windows 3.1]] window management meant that the program manager window would often get lost behind other windows, requiring the user to minimize multiple windows in order to launch an application. The program itself also suffered from its rather complex interface, with some common tasks such as exiting Windows being hidden in confusingly named menus.

| [[w:Microsoft|Microsoft]] aimed to fix this problem with a new desktop metaphor user interface originally planned for [[Microsoft Cairo|Cairo]] and later ported to [[Windows 95|Chicago]]. An initial design tested in 1993 included a tray with the System, Find and Help buttons; each exposing a part of the base operating system functionality in a menu. Applications could be launched by browsing the "Programs" directory on the desktop, which was similar to the [[Windows 3.1]] experience. The design further evolved in the following months, resulting in a single menu that combined the three menus and the Programs folder into a single interface, which was available by using the Start button on the [[taskbar]].
