StartW8 1.2.111

8StartButton is a small application that brings back the conventional Windows Start button to the modern Windows 8 Metro interface. Though many users are getting used to the new interface there are still tasks that one would do faster and better using the familiar Start menu, such as browsing files and folders. The new menu is highly customizable and also configurable so you can edit arrangements, looks, tile orders etc. You can easily revert back to the original state if necessary.
