    How to find the secret Start Menu built into Windows 10

    Hi there

    OLD OLD stuff -- It's just based on using a CUSTOM TOOLBAR -- I already described this stuff AGES and AGES ago including adding Metro (Modern apps) to it.

    The article is MISLEADING -- It's not a NEW START MENU -- although useful -- and custom toolbars have been around for a LONG TIME including W7.

    Some of these Journalists don't deserve their money at all.

    Here's my post from a LONG time ago.

    So, you two are double-teaming me, eh? *Smile

    Well, I, for one, was glad to see the article. Secondly, there are users of Windows 10 who will be glad to see this recycled article. It won't hurt anything for it to be posted again, since I've not seen it in Windows 10 Forums.
