NAME

ClassicStartMenu - replace the Windows™ Start menu with a classic menu

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LWinTools/bin/ClassicStartMenu [ -h | -i | -u | -V ]

ClassicStartMenu

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/WinTools

 

DESCRIPTION

ClassicStartMenu provides a classic version of the Windows™ 'Start' menu on Windows™ 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

This is particular interesting on Windows™ 10 where the menu gets very long and sub-menus are no longer shown even when the installed software would provide some.

The original Windows™ 'Start' menu is still available thru an extra menu point.

Furthermore the original Windows™ 'Start' menu is not deleted by the ClassicStartMenu command, "only" the presentation changes. If you want to return to the original menu, simply do not start the ClassicStartMenu command any more.

NOTES

The original Open-Shell-Menu (formerly ClassicShell) package provides the modules Classic Start Menu, Classic Explorer and Classic IE, but only the Classic Start Menu module is integrated into the WA2L/WinTools package.
