Get the Classic Start Menu in Windows 7

with 4 comments

If you love the Classic Start Menu in Windows XP and have been using it in Vista, chances are you’ll probably be disappointed by the lack of an option to enable classic Start menu in Windows 7. Microsoft hasn’t provided a way to turn on classic start menu in Windows 7, but users who are already missing it have started finding workarounds to enable it.

Thankfully, a user from Seven Forums created a nice little app that can bring the classic Start menu back in Windows 7. All you need to do is download the CSMenu app, launch it and voila – you’ll get the XP-like classic start menu in Windows 7.

The CSMenu app isn’t perfect though – it does have is rough edges. But it’s worth a try.

  3. ahahaha, the fact I had to stop and think about what the answer to the math spam protection question was is kind of sad!

    Anyways, I think that it’s even sadder that users have to turn to crappy unofficial tools to enable a feature that many users still have an use for!

    It’s kinda rediculous. I’m not against the new start menu or taskbar, but it’s nice to have the old one at times.
