Vista Start Menu: Back to the Future

Vista Start Menu Review 

What does this tool do:  Resolves two common problems: 1) dumps Vista’s clunky Menu for the more practical old-style XP display, and 2) for either XP or Vista users, it expands the Program menu screen to encompass more applications.

Cost: Free

Who Needs It:  Disgruntled Vista users and high-power XP users.

Comments:  

This program has value for either Vista or XP owners. Vista users who long for a return to XP’s menu simplicity will appreciate the benefits of the Vista Start Menu. Yes, it’s a return to the familiar XP style menu, but it also auto–expands with your growing list of applications (note the horizontal scroll bar at the base of the menu). This is something XP does not easily accommodate.  A no-brainer choice for power users.
