The list of items on the Today screen is controlled from within the device's Settings menu. The Today screen is the screen that appears when the device is first turned on. Note that in order to add a custom item to a device's Today screen, the program you would like to add must have used Microsoft's API for creating a Today screen item. The Today screen functions differently from the Start menu as it allows programs to display status updates and other information.
