I swear this is the best start menu ever. Everything stays in one place, and you can click to open the folder of what you are looking at.

It's perfect!!!!!

The basic free version of it is even a must have!

Looks like it could be nice for people with a lot of programs..

I use the classic style menu and have an old school way or organizing my programs from using old DOS menu's and such, so I probably wont use it personally.

But cool program.

I'm thinking about buying the PRO version...I'm still on the free, and have been for over a month.

Another very cool program to make life easier(Note:not easy setting up the first time)
It helps with a added up folder button, and to adding shortcuts in all explorers to sections you always pull up.:)

Looks nice. Good for "LOTS" of apps.

I keep my "Start" menu pretty well neat in the first place and all my games are in the "Games" folder thingy.

I try to also Polarman. Just like I have a quick launch tool bar folder just for games.

But I get a ton of things going on and saved. Before a reinstall hits. I normally have saved the desktop 4 or 5 times in different folders.....and then I never look back at them rarely...

This menu is nice, because if you open /say your pictures folder up. You instantly see all the pics, and can click to just open up the folder.

No click my computer, or start my docs, then pics and or so forth to get to that path......just one go to the start menu and 5 secs later your looking at it.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me, the Vista start menu was a big step back from the start menu in XP. VSM is what it should have been!

I might go pro. Get a couple nifty features and support this developer -- no, wait -- this hero!
