Click the "Choose Folder" and you will get the program menu on your taskbar.

ViStart making the rounds as a third party that started the replacement. It was originally designed to add the Windows 7 Start button-style to Windows XP, so it was basically a re-implementation of Windows 7 start button. And working on Windows 8.

ViStart want to install other software when you install it-click the drop.

Once installed, you will see 7-style window starts the ball back on the left side of your taskbar.

Click on it and you will see the familiar Start menu. Almost everything works as you'd expect, though I could not find a way to pin apps to the Start menu. It still shows the most frequently used apps.

Right-click the system tray icon and select the option ViStart if you want to configure.

You'll find the option to change the default web browser, email client and other program settings.

One bonus is that ViStart take over your Windows key. Pressing the Windows key opens the Start menu ViStart, no Metro style start screen.

You can still open the home screen by moving your cursor to the very bottom left corner of the screen, or the charm of the menu that appears when you hover over any upper or lower right corner of your screen.
