Are you missing the Classic Start Menu in Windows 7? If so, you are not alone. We have developed this Classic Start Menu for you, and now you can easily change the unusable menu of Windows 7 to the well known classic start menu with Aero skin. Actually, you can use other skins too, not just the Aero one. Yet, with Aero, you make the Classic Start Menu look like a real part of Windows 7.

Meh...I know it is free now, but they want to charge $19.99 regularly. Why pay for something that I already get free from Classic Shell?

Looks nice, but I don't use the start menu very often.

I think you missed out the word "use" :)

... Neither do I now since Windows 7 anyway's I love that you are able to pin items to the task bar :D although there was the quick launch option in XP & Vista it was just something that didn't appeal to me at the time.

I don't see any missed words. :p

I use Fences, so all of my icons are organized to my liking.

I would like to know, however, if anyone has used this and how well it functions.

You should check it out, it is really awesome. I only really use it to get the up arrow in explorer(personally I don't like the classic start menu, so luckily you can turn that off). But it also have a bunch of other nice little UI tweaks for Win7.

lol ... thankfully you caught that in one of my sections. :D

@Newt : Thanks for the extra info on customization of CS. I think I'll take a look at that when I have some time.
