As you may know, Microsoft replaced the familiar Start Menu with a "Start Screen". While it suits Microsoft's goal of making all their screens (Tablet, Smartphone, PC) look alike, it does not suit the needs of those PC users who don't own or want to own a Microsoft Phone or tablet.
Several programmers have published projects that bring back the start menu to Windows 8. I am currently running one of those projects called "ClassicShell" on my Windows 8 laptop. And I am happy to report it is working very well. The familiar start menu is back albeit with a Windows stylized clam shell (for the "shell" in "ClassicShell") start button. Functions work the same or very similar to those on the Windows 7 Start menu. At this point I am not quite ready to recommend it but I am very close to a recommendation. The website for ClassicShell is at www.classicshell.net
Check it out when you have a chance. It may be just what you're looking for.
Have a good day.
Dave
