Classic Start Menu - My Solution

Hi,

CSMenu is a classic start menu for Windows 7. It is now located at http://www.csmenu.com

Thanks,

Thomas

I would prefer the start menu as it is now but well done anyway. Did you know you can kind of get the classic look if you right click task bar, toolbars and then activate desktop. Then near the system tray you will see desktop, go check it out, just like the old classic.

Yeah I was aware, thanks. I like the Aero theme, I just don't like the start menu which Windows 7 has The program is for my own personal use, I just thought I'd post it online incase anyone else wanted to use it

That's great thomas234. I can't stand the normal vista/7 start menu, it's way to big. My solution is to use 'shortpopup' from my dock:

Tried CS Menu, but found that I could not add my folders to it.

I'd like my Document folders to be in the classic menu, so they can expand to be opened.

Any way to do this?




Thanks



PS I f*(*! hate the design of 7, so many restrictions!

What folders do you want to add to the classic start menu and where?

And do you mean the "Documents" folder to be expanded (which is actually a link to the Recent Items folder), or the "Documents -> Documents", which is a link to the user's My Documents folder? Confusing, I know

I'd like all my folders to expand in this menu, as they did in Vista.

I used to be able to drag any folders in there, and have them expand.


thanks
