Developer’s Description

By iStartMenu
Bring back the Start menu to Windows 8.
Microsoft Windows 8 is shipped without the "Start" menu. Classic Shell returns the Start Button to Windows 8 with enhancements and beautiful skins. Classic Shell also enables you to boot directly to the Windows 8 desktop. Most of us hate Windows 8 because of the missing Start Button. Most of our work needs Start Menu and we have used it for years. We almost cannot get to work without the Windows Start Button. iStartMenu helps you get back the Start Button to Windows 8. Enhance your Windows 8 experience with iStartMenu now. Boot To Desktop Directly: Windows 8 is designed for both Desktop and Tablet. The system is automatically loaded to the Metro Start menu instead of desktop by default. We have to click the desktop app each time, it's quite boring. Now with the help of iStartMenu, the system can be booted to the traditional desktop automatically. Tiny Size With High Performance: iStartMenu is designed to be small and clean. The installer is only about 1MB size. It uses quite few CPU and Memory of your computer while it helps you do your work faster.
