Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Start
In the Windows operating system, a menu activated either by a desktop but-ton located in the lower left side of the display monitor, or a keyboard key displaying the Microsoft logo (sometimes called the Windows key). Activating either brings up a menu that allows a user many options such as starting a program, changing system settings, finding files, or shutting down the com-puter. The Start menu can also be displayed by pressing the Control and Esc key at the same time.
