Windows Classic Start Menu!

Hi

If anyone is interested here is a app that restores the classic start menu in Windows 7.
I'm using it right now and I like it.

I find it much easier to find what I want when the screen shows all your installed programs at the same time instead of scrolling up and down constantly.

So far is seems to work great and also allows you to use something that resembles the classic Windows Explorer. This retains most or all of the useful features of Win 7 Explorer but the folders don't keep jumping up and down the screen when you select them. For me a big improvement.

You can turn it on and off when you want to.

I just installed it, and love it. That's the 'ticket' I set mine for smoked glass.
