Bring the Quick Launch Toolbar Back to the Desktop in Windows 8

Bring the Quick Launch Toolbar Back to the Desktop in Windows 8



In Windows 8, the Quick Launch Toolbar seems to be a thing of the past.
But with this quick hack, you can easily bring it back.

The Windows 8 Desktop is missing more than just the Start button. You also won’t
find the Quick Launch toolbar—that useful toolbar containing your frequently accessed
programs that lived to the right of the Start menu. You could have several
programs there, and see them all just by clicking a small double-arrow icon.

It’s easy to bring it back to the Windows 8 Desktop. Launch File Explorer, click the View
tab on the toolbar, and turn on the “Hidden items” checkbox. That displays folders
and files that are normally hidden from view.

Now head to the Desktop, right-click the Taskbar, and select Toolbars→New Toolbar
(Figure ).


Figure 1.
Adding a new toolbar to the Taskbar

On the screen that appears, type

%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\QuickLaunch

That places a Quick Launch toolbar at the far right of the taskbar. It also includes
the Show Desktop button that is missing from the Windows 8 Desktop. If you
want to move the Quick Launch toolbar to the left, right-click the taskbar, uncheck
“Lock the Taskbar,” and drag to the right. Lock it when you have it where you want. You
can now use the Quick Launch toolbar by clicking the double-headed arrow
(Figure 2). It works just like previous versions of Windows.

Use the Built-In Mini Start Menu in Windows 8

Use the Built-In Mini Start Menu in Windows 8



Windows 8’s main interface doesn’t include the Start Menu. But there’s
a hidden mini one, and here’s how to get to it.


Windows 8’s tile-based interface and its Desktop are noticeably missing a Start menu.
As you know from “Bring Back the Windows Start Menu to Windows 8”, there’s a way
to add one back. But you may not need to do that, since there’s already a mini start
menu built right into the operating system, and you can get there whether you’re on
the main tiled interface or on the Desktop.

There are two ways to do it: Either right-click the bottom-left corner of the screen or
press Windows key+X. Either way, the mini-menu pops up (Figure 1; its formal name
is the Power User menu) with plenty of choices.


The choices are generally self-explanatory, although some of them don’t necessarily
lead you where you may think. “Programs and Features,” for example, sends you to a
Control Panel applet that lets you uninstall Desktop programs, look at Windows
updates you’ve installed, and turn certain Windows features on or off. The Mobility
Center sends you to an applet that lets you do things such as change your display
brightness, change your screen orientation, change presentation settings, and similar
options—and the truth is, it’s not particularly useful, so you might want to stay away.



Figure 1.
Windows 8’s mini start menu

Hacking the Hack
You can edit the apps that show up on the Power User menu. In Windows Explorer, go
to

C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX

where User Name is your account name. (First, make sure that you can view hidden files in Windows
Explorer—in the Windows 8 Desktop, launch File Explorer, click the View tab on the
toolbar, and turn on the “Hidden items” checkbox. That displays folders and files that
are normally hidden from view.) When you do that, you’ll see three folders: Group1,
Group2, and Group3. Each of these groups contains shortcuts to one of the apps that
show up on the Power User menu. Group1 contains the Desktop; Group2 contains the
Control Panel, Run, Search, Task Manager, and Windows Explorer; and Group3
(Figure 2) contains two for the Command Prompt (one of which is an Admin command
prompt), Computer Management, Device Manager, Disk Management, Event
Viewer, Power Options, Programs and Features, System, and Windows Mobility
Center.


Figure 2.
The Group3 folder and its shortcuts

If you look closely at the Power User menu, you’ll notice that these groups correspond
to three groups on it, separated by faint lines. Group1 is at the bottom, Group2 just
above that, and Group3 at the top.

To edit the Power User menu, you simply make changes to these folders. If you delete
a shortcut, for example, it no longer appears on the Power User menu. If you add a
shortcut to another folder, it appears on the menu wherever you place it—for example,
if you put it in Group1, it appears at the bottom. And you can also add new folders
called Group4 and so on, to add other groups to the mini Start menu, ready for you to
add shortcuts.

Sign out of Windows and then sign in again, and the changes will take effect.

Bring Back the Windows Start Menu to Windows 8

Bring Back the Windows Start Menu to Windows 8



Are you a fan of the Start Menu that Microsoft banished from Windows
8? Fear not—there’s a simple way to bring it back in all its glory.

Of the many decisions Microsoft made in designing Windows 8, eliminating the Start
Menu was clearly the most controversial. In previous versions of Windows, the Start
Menu was a kind of universal cockpit for Windows. It let you quickly find and launch
applications, do searches, restart and shut down Windows, and much more.


Microsoft spent a fair amount of time not only taking away the Start Menu, but digging
through Windows code to get rid of hand-done hacks that could bring it back. So many
of the hacks for bringing it to Windows 8 that were available for preview versions of
the operating system don’t work on the final version.

However, there are two ways to bring it back, and to do much more as well—download
and use Start8 from Stardock or StartFinity from WinAbility Software. They both bring
back the Start Menu, and offer a kind of hacker’s heaven of other hacks, including one
that lets you boot directly to the Desktop, bypassing the Windows 8 Start screen.



Start8

To use Start 8, first head to the Stardock Win8 page. Click the “Get It Now” button and
from the page that appears, click “Get it Now” again to buy it for $4.99, or click “Try
it Free” for a thirty-day trial. If you click the button for a trial, you’ll have to enter your
email address. You’ll then be sent an email that includes a link that you can click to
download the application.

Install it, and you can configure how it works by clicking the appropriate button on the
lefthand side of the screen, such as for the Start button’s visual style, what items
should be on it, and much more (Figure 1). Here’s what each of the buttons control:

Style
This controls its visual style, such as its visual theme, whether it should be translucent,
what the button should look like (including an image on your PC), and
so on.

Configure
You’ve got plenty of options here, such as whether to show recently used applications,
what shortcuts you want on the menu, whether to open submenus when
you pause on them with the mouse pointer, how many icons the menu should
have, and what the power button should do.

Control
This gives you a dizzying array of options, including going directly to the Desktop
when you sign into Windows 8, controlling how Window 8 native app navigation
works, disabling the Charms bar when you’re on the Desktop…and much, much
more.


Whatever you decide, don’t worry—you can change the options later.


Once you’ve configured it, you’re ready to go. Tap the Windows key on your keyboard,
and up pops an old friend—the Start button (Figure 2). It looks and works much like
the one you’ve come to know.


Figure 1.
Configuring Start8

Figure 2.
What’s that shiny thing in the bottom-left corner of the Desktop? Oh, now I remember—it’s my
old friend, the Start button.

Take some time getting used to it, because even though it works much like the old
Start button, it also includes some Windows 8 features. To change how it works, rightclick
it and select Configure Start8 and hack away.


StartFinity


There are two versions of StartFinity—a $14.95 version that lets you customize how
it works, and the free Starter Edition that doesn’t let you customize it. Other than that,
the versions are essentially the same. Note that you can only use the free Starter
Edition on non-business computers for non-business tasks.


Get the free version at www.winability.com/startfinity-free/ and the for-pay version at
www.winability.com/startfinity/. Note that for the free version, you’ll have to enter your
email address, and you’ll be sent an email with a link to download the free software.
Keep in mind that when you do that, you’ll also have to agree to get sent email from
WinAbility, the maker of StartFinity, although the company says that you’ll be able to
unsubscribe.


Install it, and it brings back the Start button and menu (Figure 3). It’s simple and
straightforward. Click the Start button and get to work.
