I have heard that lots off people are missing the startmenu in Windows 8. I don’t miss it because I normally use the “Run” to enter my command/application and I have pinned my mosy used apps in the taskbar. What I do recommend to my customers is to start using Windows+X. In Windows 7 this would open the Mobility center, but in Windows 8 this opens a smal menu in the bottom left corner: This provides a lot of options for the most. But if you still miss the startmenu and don’t like the new one, I would recommend Classic Shell (http://www.classicshell.net/). This installs a startmenu that you could customize after your needs. If you like the Windows XP look, then just change to that skin. All settings are stored per user in the registry under HKCUSoftwareIvoSoftClassicStartMenu This is a screenshot of my startmenu with Windows 8 look. Notice that is has two folders, one for the Windows 8 apps and one for the classic apps:

Good qual­ity icons and images, espe­cially ones with an alpha trans­par­ency can be time con­sum­ing to make, and are often also hard to find. One source of lots of high qual­ity icons in a range of sizes is Win­dows. Win­dows 7 includes lots of icons which can be use­ful as the major­ity are avail­able in sizes from 16×16 up to 256×256, and come with alpha trans­par­ency. You may have noticed that we use some on our down­loads page — they’re handy to quickly indic­ate file type. Win­dows stores most of its icons inside exe and dll files which makes them inac­cess­ible to stand­ard image manip­u­la­tion applic­a­tions like Pho­toshop. How­ever, once they have been loc­ated they can eas­ily be extrac­ted with the free­ware util­ity IcoFX. Track­ing some of them down seems to be the trick­ier part. Below is a quick ref­er­ence for the loc­a­tions of many of the icons avail­able on Win­dows 7. I will peri­od­ic­ally add more details and any extra icon lib­rar­ies I dis­cover to this list.

List of Control Panel Commands in Windows 8, 7, Vista, and XP Sometimes it’s easier, or maybe even necessary, to open a Control Panel applet from a command line in Windows. Each Control Panel applet can be opened by executing a command, you just have to know what that command is. Control Panel itself can be accessed by executing control from a command line in Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vsta, and Windows XP. If you want a way to start a Control Panel applet from a script or from the Command Prompt, the following list of commands for Control Panel applets should help: Note: See my List of Control Panel Applets in Windows for Control Panel applet descriptions and information about changes in applets between the Windows operating systems.
