Then I upgraded to Win 8.1 Pro rtm and the Start menu 8 was not compatible.
Yesterday I found out that a new version of Start...

I keep reading things like this all the time. But, one thing that keeps popping up every time; is Windows 8 lack of a start button (really) as there are plenty of choices, and the use of the so called two os's in one. You can use one or the other you know. So, what's the big deal? In none of...

Hi
I forgot how much work it is to really start over with a new computer.
But I think I have everything installed and set up.

Found another Start Menu freeware app.
Completely customizable, from adding/removing items to changing the start button and changing the skin. May remind you of another menu app.
