Taskbar Classic Start Menu adds to the system notification area an icon. By clicking this icon, you can bring up a popup menu, which is similar to the Start Menu in Windows 2000 and Me. The program is designed for users who want to launch their programs using classic Start Menu, which in Windows 7 is missing. This menu can automatically hide unused items (in the same manner as Windows 2000 and Me Start Menu did), show only the common or only the personal items, or they both together (separately or merged), or display a number of items with the user-specified second additional icon. It is possible to separately specify the size of icons, both for top-level items and sub-folders, to choose to display in multiple columns of a given height or one, with or without separators.

- Handy Start Menu
- License: Freeware

The standard Windows Start menu is far from ideal. Too often users find themselves taking too long to look for an application they want to start. This happens because the Start menu often has a very long list of programs that are installed on the system. So, it takes quite some time to find the application you want to run. The Handy Start Menu program allows you to get rid of this problem by grouping Start menu applications into categories according to their purpose. Because applications are sorted automatically, the user is not required to do anything in most situations. There is also another inconvenience in using the standard Start menu.

Over time, as more and more applications get installed, the Start Menu can get so cluttered that you end up spending a lot of time simply trying to find the program you want to run. When this happens, it's time to organize the Start Menu. The shortcuts and folders displayed in your All Programs menu are actually stored in two separate folders in your hard drive: one set specific to the current logged in user and another common to all users. This means you could use nothing but Explorer to reorganize the contents of your All Programs menu, but then you would have to know the location of both folders on your system - which is different in basically every version of Windows - and you would have to be...

In 2007 I made ViStart, the most popular Vista start menu simulator. My vision was to prove that Vista functionality can be achieved in Windows XP. Soon, Windows 7 would be developed. Instead of simply tweaking the interface for ViStart I decided to rewrite the entire project from scratch with a new vision in mind. Although ViStart 7 comes with a Windows 7 skin, it is much more than simply a Windows 7 start menu simulator. I decided to write a new interface engine which would open up the start menu design and layout to theme creators. Now the worlds best Vista start menu has just got better. Today ViStart is the ultimate start menu for Windows! Not only does it come with features from Windows 7 but its now the most essential custom start menu for Windows.
