Vista Start Menu is the convenient alternative to the plain Start menu you find in Windows XP and Windows Vista. The program uses your cognitive abilities (visual memory, reflexes,etc.); however, while it is easily understandable for beginners, it is also highly efficient for experienced users.
Go ahead and try replacing your Start menu right now! It is safe because Vista Start Menu does not change your system settings, thus making it easy to install, as well as simple to remove
Features :
Improved interface Each detail in Vista Start Menu is well thought-out and the program will allow you to accomplish all your tasks with ease and comfort.
Always ready Vista Start Menu was designed specifically to make it possible for users to quickly access any information simply by using the keyboard or the mouse.
The PRO versionEnable the unique feature called "one-click launch" and customize your menu the way you like it by getting the PRO version.
Improved interfaceMany programs and documents are used on a modern computer. To be able to work with such a large amount of information, you need a launch pad that will help you.
Everything stays in placePrograms are easy to find because they are exactly where you left them. It's always confusing in the regular menu when you install or remove some programs and some or all of your other programs change their positions. That's why it was difficult for you to find your programs. Vista Start Menu keeps the positions of programs the same and leaves empty space in the menu when you un-install a program. But not to worry a new program will occupy this space in time.
Flexible zoomIf your vision is poor, or if you set a very large or very small screen resolution, and you want to continue working with comfort, you can simply zoom the screen in or out. Zooming can be adjusted independently of the system settings with the help of the Ctrl+"+" and Ctrl+"-" keys on the keyboard, or on the screen.
Resizeable menu You probably have many programs in the Start menu and are tired of scrolling through them to find what you are looking for, right? We have the solution for that, too! You can resize Vista Start Menu just like any other window, so all programs are visible on the screen at the same time and can be easily accessed.
In any placeYou can place the menu in a convenient part of the screen or even on another monitor or TV. The program will automatically select the optimal size for the Monitor's window.
TabsWe have extended the workspace by adding tabs to it. Now, each menu item can contain any number of tabs, which allows you to arrange your information in a comfortable and convenient way for YOU. The free version has tabs with the Quick Launch bar as well as the Startup list.
Power buttonsYou can even quickly shut down or restart the computer using the keyboard, by using shortcut keys. EVERYTHING is much easier. Press the Windows key on the keyboard to open the menu and then press the key corresponding to the desired operation. For example, press F3 to switch the user or F8 to shut down the computer. Power buttons are also available in the menu and you can easily access them with the mouse.
Highlighting new programs All programs installed last week will be highlighted in a different color in the menu. This will help you quickly find new documents or programs and since they will never change their positions, you will always know where you can find them the next time that you need them.
Comfortable scrollingHave you installed so many programs that they do not all fit on the screen? The convenient scrolling feature is especially for you. Just move the mouse pointer over the panel and the program will start smoothly scrolling the list.
Always readyWe developed this product so that a professional user can work without taking his or her hands away from the keyboard. Even a beginner will use the mouse less, thanks to having all the necessary commands at hand.
Comfortable keyboard supportIn the past, you had to press the arrow keys and other keys several times until you reached the item you needed. Now you can start any program with just a couple of keystrokes. The program splits the list into sections. You select the necessary section with the first key (for example, by pressing E) and then select the item in the section by pressing one of the keys 1 to 9. Note that the positions of the programs do not change and thus you can memorize these key combinations and use them every day.
Internet searchYou no longer have to start your browser just to visit a search engine. Just press the Windows key on the keyboard, type the term you need, press Ctrl+Enter and get the search results. It's so simple!
Command line support To access the command line in Windows XP, you had to make several mouse clicks. Now you can type a command immediately and simply press Enter to execute it.
PC searchIt is also possible to start searching the local computer right from the command line of the Start menu. We are also planning to add other known engines for searching the local computer.
System integration This program completely replaces the menu without modifying system files or settings. To revert back to the old menu, just uninstall the program. Also, you can disable integration and start Vista Start Menu by using the Quick Launch bar or the system tray, if you prefer that method.
The Pro versionThe free version has everything necessary for most work, but if you want even more features. This will facilitate further development of the project.
One-click launchUsually, you first have to find the program folder in the menu and then use its submenu to start the program itself. We made it easier! Vista Start Menu will automatically search through the list of folders and decide which program is the main one in each folder!
After that, you will be able to open the menu and click the necessary folder to start the program you need immediately. If you need access to additional files, just wait until the submenu appears. The folder icon will be replaced with the icon of the main application. All this will help you find and start the necessary programs much faster than ever before.
Quick un-installThere are also programs that did not add an uninstall shortcut to their menus, so in the past, you had to open the Control Panel and remove them manually.
We solved this problem too! Just right-click the program you want to uninstall and select Uninstall. This feature works with any shortcuts: in the Start menu, on the desktop or on the Quick Launch bar.
Menu customization Arrange your menu the way you like it. The easily customized main list will allow you to change the order of items, add new ones, and remove those you do not need. You can easily increase the number of tabs for any menu item by editing their positions and names.
