Windows 8 was a huge change, with lots of different features. One of the main things everybody noticed, and some didn't like, was that the Start Button was removed. Well, here is a small program to bring that back! It is open-source, which means the code is included for you to look at!

Note: This program doesn't bring the old, classic Start Menu back! It just puts a Start Menu button, which when pressed, opens the Metro (Windows 8) Start Menu. This program is to give a small part of the old feel back.

Features:
- Start Menu Button that opens the Windows 8 Start Menu
- Start Menu Button is the new Windows logo
- Exactly like the Start Menu Button which is being brought back in Windows 8.1
- Source code included

Instructions:
- Unzip "WindowsButton.zip"
- Right-click on "WindowsButton.exe"
- Choose "Pin to Taskbar"
- On the taskbar, slide it to the very left
