I want to go back to the Windows 7 start menu version. How can I do?

Original title: Windows Start menu 8

I don't like the Start Menu on Windows 8 and want to return to the version of Windows 7. How can I do?

Hello

Which is actually not so easy... especially if Win 8 has been pre-installed...

You almost buy Windows 7, or reinstall your pre-installed WINDOWS 7 If you have.

Even this may be a trick, because the installation of Win 8 probably messed up the process to make...

If you needed to restore to factory records, you might be lucky...

Another option would be to install something like the classic interface (free) or debut8 ($4.99).

Personally, I use debut8... for the most part, that you will think you are running Win 7 and still have features to win 8 If you want to use them...

I never tried the classic shell because I used a free trial of debut8 first. I decided it was well worth $ 5 and never studied further.

  • How to remove the search box in the Windows 7 Start Menu?

    I'm a guy from keyboard. Encoder, mudder. Therefore, I prefer my Start menu for user-friendly keyboard, which includes the removal of the search box as the focus of pigs. I can't find this option in the control panel to the taskbar and Start Menu. I lack, or it is impossible to get the classic Windows, looking for the start menu?

    I forgot on the thing... If you want to remove the search box, try this: start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > uncheck Windows Search

    ...

    I said that you can press Tab... wrong... you must press SHIFT + Tab.

    ...

    About to express my opinion - there is a simple reason why I do this. Some time ago, someone asked how to remove the search box, and it received no response for a few days. After that, I found this option, how to remove... When I said on this subject after a few days, I heard that this person used to this new feature of Windows and now it will keep it. I'm not saying that your opinion is wrong... this system differ only from XP... so we have to try to learn something new and check after a few days we don't like this solution more than the previous.

    ...

    I wonder why write you in commentary edition which has pasted the link almost not worth it. You will get exactly the same behavior of Menu start as in Windows XP. I thought that you, like this old solution... "Pinning just something that mimics the classic style"... No... you have clicked on the first link... you should read more prudent. There was also another. But even if you have selected the first solution with menu PIN... I guess you don't know that you can run all the pinned programs by pressing the Windows key + number... for example, WinKey + 1, so that each action is made without a mouse.

  • the Windows 7 start menu as a menu display does not respond when selected

    original title: windows 7 start menu - display as a menu broken

    When you customize my Start menu in Windows 7, I chose to 'Display as a Menu', as many items as I could.  It worked well for a while, but now is broken. Now, if 'Display as a Menu' or "Display as a link" is chosen, I have to click the item to open it.  I tried to change it back in 'menu' to 'bind', I tried choose "display only" and then back to "view in the form of a menu, I rebooted. I changed the delay of menushow definition in the registry by default 400 for as little as 20.  All to nothing does not.  Any ideas?

    FYI for those who might encounter the same problem... found an easier solution.  I just put the menu start failing. The button is at the bottom of the start menu.

  • I have a shortcut on my desktop that I want to add to the start menu. How can I do this?

    The program is listed in "all programs" but do a right click on it does not give the "pin to start menu" option as it does for programs that was shipped with Windows 7. (Please do not suggest that I drag it from the office to the menu start, in the start menu closes as soon as you click on anything, which makes it impossible.).

    Too bad.  I just tried something and it worked.  I did drag the icon on the button start not open and here!, he was pinned to the menu.  So, I answer to my own question.

  • I do not have a disk for my computer and want to restart is back to the way I bought, please help how can I do this

    Hello

    my partner has a computer laptop bieng a complete spaz when buying said computer laptop did not come with a disk or a backup appeared basically does anyone know how I reboot back to when my partner bought so we can start all over again
    laptop is a Toshiba satellite operating system windows vista Home premium

    Hello

    With a Toshiba, if you do not have to purchase recovery disc, there will be a disk to reinstall Vista from recovery Partition.

    You press 0 (zero) to the starting power / and follow the instructions of Toshiba to reinstall back to the factory settings.

    There are several methods to reinstall Vista, you may be interested.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

    See you soon.

    Because the latest versions of Firefox contain the latest security patches, old versions of Firefox may have security or functionality problems. For this reason, we do not recommend downgrade your version of Firefox.

  • The Windows 7 Start Menu search / indexing nothing works! Tried everything!

    OK Ive spent countless hours of research on this question, ive tried many "bugs" that did not work at all. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit Edition and here is my problem:

    The search for the Start Menu in windows 7 does not show ANYTHING when I type something to search for. No category, no file, no folder, nothing. The only thing that appears is "See more results" at the bottom and everything else is empty. When I click on "See more results" I get an error saying that windows cannot find the search query

    WHAT IVE TRIED:

    Ive tried to rebuild the index - always says 0 indexed items and NEVER changes, Ive tried to manually change the location of the index, same result

    Ive tried deleted manually the former location of the index, stop the search function, from the search function (both in the options and in regedit), restart the computer and still nothing.

    Ive tried Backing removed all find Regkeys, stop manually search in the command prompt, location of the Delete index into the command prompt, restart the search function in the command prompt.

    Ive tried to do an in Place Upgrade / repair installation of Windows 7 but he's always said his failure and returned to my current installation of WIN7

    Ive double checked to ensure that all my regkeys have the correct values and I have all the correct regkeys

    After all that, nothing WORKS STILL! -Yes research is Active, yes the file indexing and drive is chosen correctly, and yes the Search Options for files and folders ARE set up.

    Ive seen 3 other emails of Micrsoft argue that users have posted, some people say it arranges, it does NOTHING for me. I always have this problem.

    Please, please help me with this, if anyone can help me, you have no idea how much I appreciate it!

    I don't know what caused it, but this problem fixed the original problem and you describe for me:

  • How to rebuild the Windows 7 start menu?

    Having had a virus and deleted successfully, I find myself with a strange problem.

    The virus, among other things, seems to have changed the menu start removing the 'pinned' programs is not a problem, but also remove the contents of the folders in "all programs", for example under "Microsoft Office" is a subfolder called "office tools" (empty), but nothing else.
    All programs are always there and the work that they are not available on the start menu. There must be a way to rebuild this menu without having to reinstall each of the very many pieces of software on the computer.

    Suggestions welcome.

    Common to all users start menu is C:\users\all users\microsoft\windows\start menu.
    For each menu C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\window s\start user.
    By default, these are hidden files.
    Open Windows Explorer and create shortcuts, copy, paste etc.

    A search not pulled up this [http://softzilla.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-windows-7-context-menu-editor.html] no idea if it is of no use

    Thank you

    If you follow the instructions in KB289022,

    by right-clicking on "My Computer" then:
    Properties-> (Advanced tab)-> settings (under Startup and recovery)-> Edit

    Notepad then opens the appropriate file.

    This will most likely be located on the disk that your BIOS is considered the primary boot device.
