    Custom Start Menu Button Collection for Windows 10


    Over at Seven Forums there's a CustomStart Menu Button Collection post that's offers plenty of alternatives to Windows start appearance. I remembered a Xara tutorial by Gary Priester over at XaraXone.com a few years ago & liked it so much I thought I'd use Gary's techniques for a Windows 10 version. I used Classic Shell to change the Windows 10 start icon. Classic Shell does plenty more but my only goal was to change the Windows 10 start button icon shown below.

    Fromthis...

    to this.

    The icon works a little like a traffic light. When the task bar pops up, the top icon is visible. Move the mouse over the icon & the middle (10) icon is visible & select the icon with left mouse click the Windows flag pops up.

    This one works opposite on the second & third icons.

    Anyone can make their own or find others to used. Mine is a 54x162 pixels png with no background. You can go larger but be aware that the icon will overcrowd the taskbar. Give it a try. Have fun & post your results! *Smile

    Windows 10 - Start Menu not working

    Original Title: Windows 10 - Apps Store, etc.

    Unable to access the Windows 10 menu bar - in particular, Windows JigSaw; the App Store; and Microsoft Classic Solitaire collections (to name a few) which have all been downloaded. The Start-Up Menu has changed. The "Start" button now is what is understood
    to be "Cortana" which is not desired. How can the other Start Menu be restored? Internet Explorer 11 is ticked off in Programs and Features - where to from there?

    Thanks!

    I used Xara Design Pro 6 & followed Gary Priester's tutorial at Xara Xone but modified it for Windows 10. Then setup a template in Photoshop CS6. There's some great ideas for these at the Seven Forum website. That's where I got the dimensions to make these.

    I had a PDF Template but I must have lost it with all of the changes to all of these Windows 10 releases. I don't think you need it anyway*Smile
