How To Add The Start Button Back In Windows 8

Post by promiseland »

For those of you who have Windows 8 and would like to have the "Start Button" back just as it was in Windows 7, well you cant get it......just kidding!

Take a look at the screenshot below of my PC with the Start Button back in it's original Windows 7 form.
I am going to suppy everyone here a chance to have it back for free.
I have uploaded it here in a Zip file, just extract the zip and click on the Setup and reboot. Also if you feel guilty having a startup button in Windows 8 since Microsoft left it out (for some unknown reason) you can simply go to add/remove programs and unistall it.
It is a very small 800kb registry fix thats saftly adds it back to Windows 8 and can be removed if desired without any harm done.

Pm me if you have any questions about should you ever update it, or if it will expire.

Here is a scan of the file from my Norton Internet Security Anti-Virus 2013.

Thank you very much!

It's like being back in "Kansas"! (Home)

Also note you can right click on the start button to access it's configuration panel and file explorer.
