Get Back Start Orb And Classic Start Menu In Windows 8

Posted by David 1 comment
Start Orb and Start Menu both have been removed by Microsoft in Windows 8 Consumer Preview. If you don't like this move of Microsoft, you can get both the features back using a very old but updated program Classic Shell.
Classic Shell is a free utility which brings both Start Orb and Start Menu (Classic) back into Windows 8. The author of this program has updated it. It now works with Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Microsoft is giving signals that both the features would not be available in final version of Windows 8 also. So this utility will also be required for Windows 8 RTM.


You can change its settings by right clicking at start orb and then by clicking 'Settings'. To download this utility, click the following link:
