Get the Classic Start Menu –
Menu Bar in Windows 8
Canned Statement: Let me go ahead download and install a 3rd party fixit to
get the windows start menu bar in windows 8.
Download the install file and
run it
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/
You should see the Classic
Shell setup screen as shown below:
Once you have finished the
install, you will see a new Start button-like button at the bottom left. The
classic Start Menu is back.
Canned Statement: Let me inform you that installation a 3rd party fixit to
get the windows start menu bar in windows 8 is in process. Note that this is
just one of several modules that bring back various features to different parts
of Windows.
In addition to the Classic
Start Menu, the program also has options for Classic Explorer and Internet
Explorer 9 and 10.
First, click on your new Start
button and go to Programs, Classic Shell and then Start Menu
Settings. Canned Statement: Let me inform you that configuring
windows start menu bar in windows 8 is in process.
Here you can configure how the
Start Menu in Windows 8 will work. For example, you can configure how you want
the Classic Start Menu to appear vs the normal Windows Start Menu (Metro UI).
And like in previous versions of Windows, you can configure the Start Menu to
show the Control Panel, Recent Documents, show the Log Off button, etc.
Clicking on the Skin tab will let you choose from several nice looking themes
for your new start menu.
Start Menu settings go from two
tabs to over 10! For example, you can click All Settings and then click on
Start Button and add your own custom Start Button image if you like. Classic
Shell adds a couple of things to Explorer also:
As you can see it adds a few
buttons like cut, copy, paste, delete, etc.
You can also navigate up the
folder hierarchy by pressing the up arrow button instead of having to use the
breadcrumbs feature. It also replaces the confusing file/folder conflict dialog
that pops up in Windows Vista and 7 with the simple Windows XP one:
It has a few IE 9 and 10
options like showing the caption and icon in the title bar. Here’s an example
with the caption in the title, the progress bar at the bottom and the zone in
the status bar. Of course, if all you care about is the Start Button, you can
turn off all the other stuff in the settings.
