How To Add Start Button In Windows 8

28/6/2014

2 Comments

 
For many of the Windows-users, the old is the gold as they do not seem to be happy enough with the loss of Start Button that comes with Windows 8. We have been so used to Windows – since the first launching of Windows – called Windows 1.0 - by Microsoft in November 20, 1985. Read on.
Start Button In windows 8
Since then many changes have taken place, the last being Windows 8.1, but the love for Windows 95, with its Start button and the simple user friendly Start Menu,  does not appear to have dwindled so far. Those with Windows 8 still feel a sense of deprivation without the ubiquitous Start Button. Mercifully, Windows 8.1 did bring back the Start Button, but without the accompanying Start Menu.

Now, those who have Windows 8 and feel dispossessed of the Start Button can upgrade to Windows 8.1, which brings back the Start Menu along with the tiles. If they however wish to stick to the older system of the Start Menu as well, they have several options to try their hands on.

The first and the easiest option for them is to download and install free Classic Shell, which improves productivity, enhances usability of Windows and empowers one to use his computer the way he wants. It further makes the Start Menu customisable with multiple styles and skins; and has the feature of getting quick access to recent, frequently-used and pinned files. To put it differently, the user can replace the start button icon with any image of his liking, decide as to how the start menu looks (Windows classic or Windows 7 style), make his own choice as to which shortcuts will open the Modern UI screen, etc. He can explore more options by right-clicking the start button and going to settings.

In case a user with Windows 8.1 wishes to simply go for Windows Start Menu, he has the following steps to follow –

a)    Ensure that the hidden files are enabled

b)   Right-click on the Taskbar. Click on Toolbars and Click on New Toolbar, and then

c)    Open C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows and select Start Menu. Now, choose Select Folder

On completion of the above steps, a new Start Menu folder will appear that would contain all the programmes in the Programs folder. Thus, the user gets the Start Menu as well.

Dear friends, it is quite likely that Microsoft will come out with the older version of the Start Button and Start Menu, but in case, you do not feel like waiting, you may as well try one of the above noted tricks to modify the look of your Windows. Please do let us have your comments and feedback. All the best!
