Granted, Windows 10 brings back a more sane Start Menu, though it still has the Angry Fruit Salad tiles of Windows 8's obnoxious Start Screen.

Classic Shell gets you a Windows 7 style Start Menu, and a few other bells and whistles.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
