I've always hated the fact that Windows 7 forces the Vista style start menu, but I just found this nice app which works quite well:
http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/
If anyone is interested, it also brings back a few other features of older versions of Windows to Vista/7, though I use Directory Opus as my file manager so I don't actually need the other stuff.
but I thought pointless UI changes for the win??
I might actually get this because I like the old start menu
haha! Timing! I was finding a way to get rid of that screen...
Does this work when the PC is locked? or does it show the gay vista lockscreen?
Def does't enoy me,..
In vista there was the classic option,.. i guess in windows 7 microsoft did't want to name it "classic classic menu"
also i am kinda used to it now,.
D:
Keep going. Ruin windows 7 D:
Why would you want this? Why the classical start menu. It's horrible looking. Besides, I think you're able to mod the start menu so it's still sleek but got the old layout.

What screen?
Ctrl+Alt+Del?
Or Win+L?
The new start menu seems heavily focused on search, something which doesn't suit me or really work well for me. I run most of my apps via the Run dialog. Unfortunately, the new start menu makes anything apart from using search a keyboard pain, often requiring multiple tab presses etc.
Now I can go back to sleeping the PC with Win, S, Enter (as opposed to Win, Tab, Tab, Tab, Right, S).
