The start menu had run it's course. Think of it like this, once you have more than half a dozen programs installed navigating the start menu becomes a nightmare. Trying to navigate through multiple menu levels, remember which option was in which folder. It is painful. The most efficient way to use the start menu is to click on it and type the name of what you want to run. Type 'word' and Microsoft word will pop up, type 'Control Pa..' and the control panel will pop up. This is exactly how the new start screen works. Cut out the rubbish multi level menus and just type what you want. It's so easy. You can navigate manually with the mouse, which is painful. But no more painful than the current start menu, just different. Craig
