Windows 7 - Change Start Menu without patching

This is a HowTo for using individual Windows 7 Start Buttons without patching the explorer.exe. The Idea came from MaxFragg. The HowTo is mine .

First Step:

Download the Application Start Killer. A 64-bit-Version is also available at Tordex - Free Downloads. This will Remove the (original) Start Button from the Taskbar.

Second Step:

After that, download the little Utilitie OpenStartMenu from Chris'n'Soft » Download and save it, where ever you want (for example at C:\Program Files\OpenStartMenu). Create a (Desktop-) Shortcut to the openstartmenu.exe. Now go to the properties from this Shortcut and change the Icon the way you like it.

Third Step:

When you execute this Shortcut the first time, it will promt a Dialog Box with a Security Warning Message: "Do you want to open this file?". Uncheck the Option "Always ask before opening this file"! Now this Dialog Box is disabled for OpenStartMenu.

Fourth Step:

Now pin the OpenStartMenu-Shortcut to your Superbar and you have an individual Start Button without patching the explorer.exe.
