Thanks for the heads up. I'm still rockin' Windows 8.1 and version CS version 4.2.1 so I'll give this update a try in a few days.

I don't see anything wrong with the default Win10 start menu. I'm sure these start menu replacement companies are going to see their revenue plummet.

This is a free utility

Thank God for Classic Shell. I could not use Windows with out it. Still rocking the Win2000 style Classic single column menu and loving it.

Classic shell has an aero theme, gets rid of the flat look in the start menu. Looks exactly like 7. Everything else will still be flat though.

Ditto. Classic Shell and later such proggies received more attention with Windows 8, but the cool kids were using it with Windows 7 more than five years ago.

Pro-tip: taskbar on the right side is most ergonomic (least mousey travel, maintains useable display height, &c.) and at triple tray width can greatly expand the area for minimal-click access to most used shortcuts. In this example the second toolbar is a collapsed folder named "System" but even uncollapsed can effectively double the width for buttons.

I actually like the Vista/7 start menu style. if it's not pinned to the task bar the recents list probably has it. If not then the time I spent organizing the start menu pays off... programs are filed under categories (games, Utilities, Media Programs, etc.)

Can anyone confirm if (Win + Directional Keys) are working to align windows to certain areas of the screen with 4.2.4.

Works here, I can left/right-shift/arrange Windows with this and cycle and maximize them too. Didn't know that.
