# 2.2. The KDE Control Center Screen

When you start the control center, you are presented with a window, which can be divided into 3 functional parts.

The KDE Control Center Screen

Across the top is a menubar. The menubar will provide you with quick access to most of Kcontrol's features. The menus are detailed in The KDE Control Center Menus.

Along the left hand side, is a column. This is a where you choose which module to configure. You can learn how to navigate through the modules in the section called Navigating Modules.

The grey box on the lower right side (with the wizard), shows you some useful system information.

In this example, we are running KDE 2.0, we started kcontrol as user `mmcbride`, the computer is named `btnrg1`, it is a Linux system, kernel version 2.2.16-storm, on a Pentium II.
