VistaStartMenu is a cool utility which will make your default start menu look like Windows Vista start menu . It provides a diffrent layout and interface which is much more convienient and helps us access our programs faster without having to go through multiple menu levels . Just look at my screenshot and download if you like it.

Nice find Madhur. I installed it and it works with the other tweaks I have done to make my computer look/work like Vista.

It seems that even you are using it.. Does it affect your system??
Bcoz my experience with such things is that they screw your windows.. So just wanted to confirm b4 trying it out..

I am also Vista packs because they modify system files but this one only affects the start menu and not anything else . And my system is running fine also . You can try it out .

Am I the only one who will be looking for the mod to make the Vista Start menu look like WinNT?

No,I have also heard that Vista start menu is a bit inconvienient , but this one is not just a duplicate copy of that , this software is much better .

Nice one, but I am still using the Windows 2000 look. I am paranoid about performance even though my PC is pretty fast, but I use all the minimum graphics required.

Just installed it and my pc is running slower..most probably because my computer space is reaching its bottleneck..will reinstall it after formatting my computer. I’m pretty sure it’ll make a big difference

I use the *VISTA TRANSFORMATION PACK* for my XP machine, and it changes not only my start menu, but also all others like the visual styles, boot screen, welcome screen, cursors, etc., to resemble that of Vista’s

You could download it here
