    Using Windows 8 - Want your start menu back?

    I know a lot of people need this - http://www.lee-soft.com/

    Careful with the install - It tries tries to install a ToolBar and some scanner - Just click decline for both and all is ok.....

          So many free software packages seem to do it now - You just have to be more careful when you install these days....

                          same here. Except for a few "must-have"s, I don't install anything.
                          If it's portable, I'll use it. If it comes in an installer, I won't.

                                      That's my absolute fave piece of appalling UX with windows.

                                      "How do you close down Windows?"

                                      "Well, you go to the START menu..."

                                      lol

                                          ViStart is pretty popular.

                                          I did install the StarDock menu for Windows 8 but didn't like it and removed it.

                                          I barely see Metro anyway, and I've turned off all the crazy colors, so I'll probably just live with it if decide to upgrade.
