maybe we'll all eventually get used to the new start screen in Windows 8 but until then there is a sneaky way to get the Start menu back where it belongs here's the workaround head over to classic shell dot sourceforge.net and hit the download now button when it's done launch the Installer once you get to the custom setup screen you'll see this list see classic shell actually has a number of features including bringing back the Explorer toolbar with classic Explorer but if all you want is to bring back to start menu click on the other options and select entire feature will be unavailable do that for the other options and hit next finally hit install and when it's done you'll see the glorious Start menu back where it belongs it doesn't look exactly the same but its functions are identical click it and the menu will pop up you can drag and drop items to organize them see your recent items and do everything you could normally do in the classic start menu now you'll notice that when you hit the windows button that Start menu launches if you still want the Start screen to appear do this right-click the Start menu and go to settings here you can change the Start menu style but in basic settings under windows key options you can adjust it to open the Start screen go through these settings and tweak them to your liking but in any case you now have the option to use a Start menu just like you're used to for seen it I'm Sharon Vaknin
