Windows 8 Start Menu Switcher v1.01：

Find back your Windows 8's classic Start Menu, now you just need one click to do it quickly.

Okay, click '7' when you want a classic start menu in Win8, or you can click '8' back to the default.

Windows 8 Start Menu Switcher v1.01 is written by C++ WTL, and it is only 79kb, a portable utility. IT works for Windows 8 Developer Preview.

Feel free to use it and wish you will like it.

BTW, a more powerful toy comes: 'Windows 8 Start Tweaker'.

Powered by www.win8china.com for Win8 Master.

Microsoft removed the Start Menu and the Start Button completely. If I wanted to do all my office work on a tablet, I would have gone and bought myself a new iPad (which I still might do, if I’m forced to choose between a Windows tablet and an iPad). Why can’t we just leave the tablet market to Apple and the PC market to Microsoft? Don’t get me wrong, I like Windows 8 in general, but what happened to freedom of speech and choices. In Windows XP we had the choice to switch back to the Classic Start Menu and in Windows 7 we have XP Mode.

It looks like in Windows 8, the only choices we have are to tablet or not to tablet. Rizonesoft started a petition to ask Microsoft to at least give us a choice between the interfaces and bring the Start Menu back. Go here: [link] for more information about the petition. Please help Rizonesoft accomplish this almost impossible task by signing and sharing this petition.

Good job :) However, it also gets rid of explorer with ribbon and the new taskmanager.
