It supports Start Screen customization and there are many improvements in Windows Explorer ribbon UI, etc. Among these improvements, there is a big change which was not expected by anyone.

Select the new folder which you created in 3. It'll immediately add the new folder toolbar in Taskbar.
It'll be added near system tray (notification area) as shown in following screenshot: 3. Right- click on Taskbar and uncheck .
It'll show a placeholder to drag the folder toolbar. Now you need to drag- n- drop the new folder toolbar to the start of Taskbar. Simply click and hold on the folder toolbar handler, drag the handler to the start of Taskbar. It'll put the new folder toolbar to the start of Taskbar and you'll see a huge gap between folder toolbar and program buttons. Now right- click on the empty area between folder toolbar and program buttons and uncheck both . Now you can drag- n- drop the program buttons handler near start ORB to remove the gap. Lock the Taskbar again and now start ORB will no longer overlap program buttons and you'll get a working start ORB and start menu in Windows 8.
Vi. Start works perfectly without any problem in Windows 8 so you'll never miss the good old Start button and Start Menu in Windows 8. Share this article: Facebook.
