Windows 8.1 with 8gadgetpack and Classic Shell

I'm still configuring this Classic Shell, but here's a quick look at it, showing the Windows 7 Start Button and its Start Menu, with the 'dropdown' list for Control Panel showing beside it. I hope this illustrates that you don't have to give up the features you liked in past versions, if you have this. There are two other choices
of Start Menus with this, and you can switch them if you like. The actual Start Button has choices too, and this one I've chosen was from another site, and I'm shoehorning it in here, just because I like it. If you recall, the original Win-7 one would 'glow' if you moused over it, and this one does too! This is a fun program.
You ought to try it.
