Windows 7 Classic Start Menu v0.9 installation

[StoneOakvalley]

The new start menu in Win 7 is completely dumbass and results of bloating, design flaws, hacks, lack of understanding intuition and excellence. Examples are excessive use of air, childish bloaty icons, lack of editing the start menu itself, the illusion of setting everything up automatically for the user =wrong. But even this CSmenu managed to fail. Shareware, odd looking design (dont folllows the theme set, like Classic 2003/XP look) and lack of configuration. Sorry, try again

Everything I've always wanted to say! I never understood why classic theme wasn't the XP classic theme. The classic theme in Vista/7 = fail. The fact that they never allowed you to do revert back to a simpler look, and still keep the theme, is even gayer. Their excuse for this was "it would have used to much code..."

Pfft. If it wasn't for DX10/11, I wouldn't have even considered Windows 7.

i think the classic theme in windows 7 is cool i like the classic windows 95, 98 type theme i think it looks cool

[FusionNinjin]

ack, i wish one could replace the whole theme system like linux and get a more or less direct look of xp :x and remove tons of services that needlessly runs on worsta(vista) and winDOS 7

[rbonilla18]

[YomorokaXD]

[rbonilla18]

@YomorokaXD to who??? you. I dont give shit. IT SUCKS THATS THE LAST WORD

[YomorokaXD]

@rbonilla18 i see, u have no reasons. if u have no reasons how can u even tell us u used it? maybe ur just some poor broke dude with nothing to do but make fun of every other os out there. i pet u say Linux sucks as well eh?

[rbonilla18]

@YomorokaXD i use unix solaris.

[YomorokaXD]

@rbonilla18 ooh c there's ur reason, linux kicks windows ass :D

[Tombuutkamp2000]

you're right.

[simon1234simon]

you said it man. almost the same thing as windows vista (suppost to be 3% faster or something) and is missing classic control panel and classic start menu.

that's fucking it. after windows 95, microsoft went down and is constatley falling.

[rbonilla18]

@simon1234simon i have always used the classic mode <-- i love it. I'm a net admin and when i use win server 2k8 classic mode it drive me crazy.

[scottm1211]

@rbonilla18 I agree

[scarybozo]

No, it actually has a load of very nice under-the-hood features. But the god-awful new style UI ruins everything. It's the reason our company is moving to Linux at last. Not because of some technical merit, but because Linux will not force any retarded UI design upon the world. Our few users whose machines were migrated are often feeling confused by some "clever" new feature, and our IT guys get nervous breakdowns while trying to help them. Good work, Microsoft. Good shot in your own feet.

Does any one know why i am doing the CsMenu thing and it takes ages.

[sweetdeborra]

I hate the non classic menu in Vista and 7

[cgasucks]

Yes...the Windows 7 start menu is quite gay myself...I gots Windows 7 and I'm trying to make it feel like XP as much as possible...even putting a Windows XP wallpaper on my desktop!

[RossVlogs]

@sweetdeborra hey if you hate it type into google classic shell and download that its the best one yet

[jasrummet]

Why?

Most IT nerds works inside the OS, but my 14.000 users work with applikations.

They are not at all interested in changes. They work with SAP, Outlook, Word, Excell etc.

Love this tool, ill spread it among my supporters as fast as i possibly can.

Seriously, our company has turned down WIN7 roolout, because the visual effect. This is not for europeans to use.

Have they just had the classic menu, we wouldt have rolled out a.s.a.p.

[ynsemred]

WHY???

[bf2modsde]

Good job on the implementation, I think the new one is way easier to handle though. Makes working with it a bit quicker.

[krow000666]

when you press the "windows" key... the %$# start menu appears still.

[kas513]

зачем вообще тогда устанавливал win 7?) так же можно сидеть и под хр,она быстрее по производительности...

[FromStoneage]

looks awesome, but is there a way to replace the original button ?

[thomasw123]

You could try Start Killer. It doesn't do a perfect job on Windows 7, but it's worth trying at least.

[DarkCloudPhenom88]

@thomasw123 you can change to windows classic theme>control panel>themes

[jasrummet]

@FromStoneage

Use the classic shell. Its much better, and you can configure it in many ways, and store in a config file.

[alligator44444]

that is full or demo? 5/5

[thomasw123]

That's the full version. There is no demo, CSMenu is freeware.
