ViStart8 Start Menu for Windows

[karlsnooks]

Miss your Start Orb? I know that I do.

There have been numerous solutions developed and/or proposed.

The one solution that i recommend is:

Incidentally, I thank Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder, for informing us of this program in:

I will probably be changing my recommendation.

The ViStart program demonstrates some features (bugs) which are not to my liking.

Am now trying:
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/

An intro to this shell is at:

At the present, this shell is definitely my choice, but still need to wring "classic" out (I did select the Win 8 style at the first screen.)

I have found the Classic Shell program more to my liking.

However, have temporarily removed so that I can become better familiar with the ins and out of Win 8 and also to continue testing and documentation on the win 8 shortcuts for which I need an unaltered system.
