Windows users who still miss the good old Start menu in Windows 8 can revive it, courtesy of three handy utilities.
Okay, I confess. After
all these months of testing and using Windows 8, I still miss the
classic Start menu. Microsoft has attempted to lure me to the new Start
screen, and I can see some clear benefits to it. But for me, the Start
menu is still the easiest way to organize, locate, and launch my vast
array of desktop applications.
If you're in the same
boat, fear not. ViStart, Classic Shell, and StartMenu7 all do a good job
of duplicating the classic Start menu with its folders, shortcuts, and
easy access to common Windows locations.
Concerns surfaced that
Microsoft would disable the functionality of such Start menu apps in
the final version of Windows. But I tested all three utilities, and all
worked just fine in the Windows 8 RTM edition unveiled last week.
