Get Windows 7 like StartMenu Back In Windows 8 Without any 3rd party tools

For those that really find a lack of start menu in W8 such a big problem -- well
even WITHOUT using 3rd party tools you can make a feature that performs almost
identically to Windows 7 start menu.

1) on the bottom taskbar right mouse
click ==> toolbars===>create new toolbar
2) enter
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs in the select folder
3)
press the select folder button

Now in the bottom taskbar you'll see
Programs with a >> sign

click on the >> and you'll see a list
of your pgms in classical menu style -- what's difficult about that --you don't
even have to go near the start screen / charms etc once you've
booted.

Screenshots enc.

(you can make say 2 or 3 individual
customized toolbars like that if you want --and I actually find it FAR MORE
FLEXIBLE than the basic traditional start menu).

Again I say W8 has its
faults but some of them are not nearly so bad as people seem to make out -- most
people who HATE W8 seem to have tried it for about 3 seconds and then given up
saying "I hate it". Try out some of the decent bits of it before rubbishing it
entirely.
