Viva Start Menu Review by
4.5/5

Viva Start Menu is a software tool that can be used in order to help people rekindle the old Star menu, from Windows XP, Vista and 7, as well as control a large number of settings regarding it.

This utility is portable, which means that you can easily bypass the installation process, and thus, the Windows registry is not going to be updated with new entries. Moreover, it will not leave traces behind, upon its removal from the hard drive.

It is also important that you keep in mind that by moving the program files to a removable storage unit, you make it possible to run it on the breeze, on any computer you have been granted access to.

This software app also creates a shortcut on the desktop which enables you to access the Start screen, called “Live Tiles”, while form the settings panel, you can choose between the Windows XP, Vista and 7 type of menu.

In addition to that, you can configure controls, so that you can, for example, open the Viva Start Menu with a type of click, and the Windows 8 one with another. It is possible to choose which special items to display (e.g. Favorites, recent documents, Control Panel etc.), change the skin, manually add commands to the Start menu and customize the context menu.

You should also know it is possible to reset all settings, load them from XML files, as well as create a backup using the aforementioned format.

To wrap it up, Viva Start Menu proves to be an efficient piece of software, dedicated to people who love the old Start Menu. The response time is good, the system’s performance is not affected at all and we did not register any kind or errors or freezes.
