If you are one of the numerous users who could not get used to the lack of a fully functional Start Menu in their Windows 8 computer, then you might enjoy Spesoft Windows 8 Start Menu, as it is a freeware app that provides you with most of the functions found in the Start Menu of Windows 7.

You need to pay attention during installation, as there are some bundled offers you might want to decline. Once this process is complete, a start button will be automatically added to your PC.

Spesoft Windows 8 Start Menu includes a special search box that enables you to quickly look for files, folders and programs on your computer. You can also customize the look of the Start Menu by adjusting the font and the icon sizes.

You can easily access dedicated Windows areas, such as My Documents, Music, Pictures, Games, My Computer, Control Panel and Devices and Printers.

On the other hand, a lot of Windows 8 users encounter difficulties in shutting down their computer because they first need to access the Charms bar, then select the Settings section, and only then they can get to the Power option. To avoid all this, Spesoft Windows 8 Start Menu also includes such a function, which enables users not only to turn off their PC, but also to log off, switch users, restart or enter sleep mode.

On the downside, there does not seem to be an option to disable Spesoft Windows 8 Start Menu should you choose to do so, and pressing the Win key on the keyboard still launches the Start Screen.

Spesoft Windows 8 Start Menu can be a great help for all those who are having a hard time getting accustomed to their Windows 8 computer.
