Start Menu XP

Technical details

Windows 7 CompatibleThe program supports Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The StartMenuXP installer contains 32- and 64-bit versions of the program.

The Start Menu XP installation package consists of the following two programs: Start Menu XP – the program that replaces the system menu and Group Manager, a tool that helps organize programs into virtual groups.

The program does not modify your system and it absolutely safe to use. Start Menu XP uses documented Windows Hook functions and can be easily enabled or disabled.

The program displays and merges the content of 4 folders –
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
%programdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

That is why there can be up to 4 files in different locations behind a single menu item. This is especially important for such operations as file copying and deletion. However, Start Menu XP is smart and takes this peculiarity into account when possible.
