Moderators rridgely Posted November 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2012 I hate to admit it, but I broke down and bought start 8 for my windows 8 machine. I tried a bunch of the different windows 8 start menu replacements and this one was definitely the best. It loads just as fast as the old windows 7 menu and fits in perfect with the visuals of windows 8.

Winapp2.ini Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I don't lament this loss of the start menu, but this actually seems like a pretty neat addition. Something I may toy around with if I ever get bored. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators rridgely Posted November 18, 2012 Author Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2012 Start8 has a lot more features than just bringing back the start menu. One of my favorites is the ability to have the windows key bring you back to the desktop when using metro apps.(I still find it hard to get out of the metro apps sometimes.) I also like that it lets me boot straight to the desktop after login. I really tried to like the metro interface but those apps are useless to me on a desktop. I may still grab a touch screen laptop but I'm sticking with this on my desktops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted November 18, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2012 At least the price of it is very inexpensive, so there's at least a cheap way to "fix" Win8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Fast Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Are you using it? Not at the moment. But I have used it before, & it also includes skins to make it appear to be XP, Vista, 7, etc... Not a bad proggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Fast Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Only on 7 at the moment. But they added support for 8 with the recent versions. See here: -> User shows installation & use on Windows 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroozer Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks, Super. Now we can make Win8 more user-friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted November 18, 2012 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm using Classic shell in Win8 but am only using the IE features (I need to know always what IE zone I am in) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.
