hey Yiddle if you want your start button back you can use this:

then if you are lost pressing the windows key on the kb will pop it open and bring back your desktop

Yiddle, you've now gotten two recommendations for Classic Shell... the computer maintainance part 2 PM I sent you on the 25th has the same recommendation.

Thanks {{{Harmonic}}} I didn't need the start button so much....once I found the desktop tile... I panicked for a bit in the beginning....but I'm getting there...slowly...with help..

If I recall... the Win8 switcher is activated by moving your mouse in the upper left corner of your screen. Using any of the Win8 apps limits you to no more than 2 on the screen at a time... side by side sort of. I don't use Win8 apps, I use Windows standard programs where I can have multiple windows where ever I want. Instead of going to a separate Start Screen to start a program, I use the standard Start Menu on the desktop where all of my windows are open and arranged how I like them. Bouncing between the desktop and the Start Screen to start a program is inefficient in my books not to mention the limitation that just having one or two apps only open on a screen has. I don't mind the new style apps, I just find them less efficient than the standard programs that are in a window.

In about October or November, Microsoft should be releasing Win8.1 and currently it has added the Start Menu back and also provided additional style layouts for the Start Screen ( if you like it ). This will be a free upgrade for current Window 8 users....

I too am stuck with Windows H8!

It was a stupid idea then and it's a stupid idea now.
