Get your Start menu back in Windows 8


Do you have a Windows 8 computer? Do you miss the ‘start’ menu? You can get it back!

1.  In the Windows 8 Desktop, launch Windows Explorer, click the View tab on the toolbar, and check the 
box next to "Hidden items." That will display folders and files that are normally hidden from view.


2.  Right-click the taskbar and select Toolbars, then click New Toolbar.


3.  From the screen that appears, navigate to Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu and select it. That will place a Start Menu toolbar on the far right of the taskbar. 

4.  You can now use the Start Menu by clicking the double-headed arrow. It works the same as previous versions of Windows.
