Been using classic 8 (W-7) start menu in W-8 and like it much better than the screen full of boxes W-8 displays, but just discovered Classic Shell, the same W-7 start menu, but much more controllable to your preferences. Worth looking into if you like the older style start menu. Not having a touch screen and not interested in getting one, this is the best I've found for mouse and keyboard use. JMHO. PJ
 
Is it readily available with MS at their site? Easy to add?
 
Start8 is what I have used since first week. I liken it. Expensive ($4.99).
Even has the option for a green XP style start button.
I killed tiles, hot spots, charms...looks and acts like XP as much as I can get it to.
I even have a "run" button in the control panel
 
Thanks. I think I'll do it. Sick of constantly hitting "Ctrl D" to get my desktop after opening a PDF file (or whatever).
