You call this XP style?
XP style start menu has 2 columns like the current vista and 7 start menu. However, the All Programs menu expands out horizontally, and thats what I believe most users migrating from XP are looking for. But it’s still not available, hopefully someone will come up with a solution.

Yes, I’d like to have the expandible Start Menu back too… But for some reason, ALL these “classic” Start Menu replacements also remove Windows 7′s wonderful Search box, which lets you find any shortcut in just a few keystrokes. That was an actual improvement… Why couldn’t they leave that part as-is, or at least give you that option?

@James, did you even try Classic Shell instead of trolling? It has both style Classic menus – single column and double column and skins as well.

When using Classic shell the Start Menu button is not pushed when using Classic theme. This is very annoying. I hate Classic Shell.

WOW… LOVE IT
Fast and easy. I won’t leave WINDOWS XP… This makes life so easy. I usually use UBUNTU 10.10 linux, and have Windows XP running in a VirtualBox if I need something only Windows programs can offer. This is the ultimate!! THANKS!

People on the Windows 7 forums are all asking for something like this…

Great!!
