Tired of the default start menu? If you're using Windows Vista, then you should agree that the start menu looks great, but it's also harder to use than before, so we found a replacement for you! Its name is Vista Start Menu, and despite its name, this program also runs perfectly on Windows NT, 2000, 2003 and, of course, XP.

Vista Start Menu has only 1MB in size, and you can use it freely for as long as you want. The extended version can be purchased for 19.99$, and you also get a 30 day money back guarantee, so there's no risk, but... what do you get for your money?

Paid Version:

The extra features include a handy one-click launch mode for every program, menu customization and quick uninstall for every program on your computer, right from the start menu. Obviously, buying this program won't make its creators filthy rich, but support them for developing future versions...

Free Version:

The free version also comes with a pack of features worth being mentioned, such as:

flexible zoom (zooming in and out independently, without changing the system settings)
the ability to resize the Vista Start Menu just like any other window so all programs can be seen on the screen at the same time
excellent keyboard shortcuts and command line support
integrated Internet/local search bars

Vista Start Menu can improve your Windows Vista environment and it's going to take your Windows XP/2000/2003 experience to a completely new level ( if you are one of those that decided not to make the big move to Vista yet ) The system load is minimal, and using this program is as easy as possible.

The Bad

While this program can be really useful to a category of computer users, most experts simply don't need it, because there are other easy ways to access your programs, like adding shortcuts to your file manager's toolbar.

Conclusion

Vista Start Menu is an interesting choice for most average Windows users today, no matter if they use Vista or not. As we said, the extended commercial version of this program can make things even easier for you, so the price will be rewarded by the time gained while using this small and handy tool.
