Being bi - using best of two worlds:
  • Windows 7 start menu with "last opened programs" and "jump lists" AND
  • "Classic menu emulation"
(Excuse me for my bad English)
  • Right mouse click on taskbar -> Toolbars -> New toolbar
  • Point to: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Startmenu\Programs
  • Right mouse click on taskbar -> unlock taskbar
  • Right mouse click in taskbar on dotted delimiter -> disable "Show text" and disable "Show title", enable "Big symbols"
  • Right mouse click in taskbar on dotted delimiter -> Open folder
  • Choose a link and change icon; e.g. change "Send feedback" link into green symbol out of c:\windows\ehome\ehres.dll
  • Drag dotted delimiter to the left till changed icon appears
  • Drag changed icon to the most left position
  • Drag dotted delimiter to the right till only one icon remains
  • Drag left dotted delimiter beside the start button to the right site till new symbol bar suddenly jumps to the left.
  • Drag dotted delimiter to the left till only one icon remains
  • Right mouse click on taskbar -> lock taskbar
Open Windows Explorer.
Move all links and folders from:
C:\User\[Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Startmenu\Programs
to:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Startmeni\Programs
(Because first folder includes the "User menu" links while second folder includes "All user menu" links)
