    I like this better. Gives you the XP Classic style All Programs while keeping the rest of the Windows 7 start menu stuff.

    To get a XP Classic style All Programs list from the Start Menu, see this article. I used the provided .reg file and it works like a charm:

    Wow! I just had a look at the new Windows 8 "Start Menu" list, which essentially doesn't exist any more because there are NO lists any more --- just a screen full of boxes of apps --- like the display of apps on a smart phone or iPad. Those of us who still prefer the Classic XP style of Start Menu will have a whole lot of readjusting to do!!!
