Classic Start Menu

Classic Start Menu is a small add-on for Windows 7 and Windows 8 that adds the classic Windows XP start menu, one of the most liked by most users, to these two, newer, operating systems.

For Windows 7, it will simply substitute its start menu with the XP start menu, which will make it much simpler. For Windows 8, however, it will have to go ahead and add a start menu access, as the new Microsoft operating system has completely eliminated the characteristic drop-down menu.

The program also gives you several options to configure and personalize the start menu, letting you easily change the menu's background images, and the shutdown, re-start, and hibernate buttons.

Classic Start Menu will come as a relief to many users of the new Microsoft operating systems who just want to get their classic start menu back and save themselves the hassles. Plus, the add-on doesn’t even require installation on Windows 7.
