How do you get classic start menu back to Win8?

When you run a Windows 8 computer, which free tool you will choose to get classic start menu back?

Classic Shell / Pokki / Start Menu 8

I use none.

I've become accustom to the new Start Screen. Windows 8.1 will be bring the much-needed enhancements to the Start Screen that the end-users require. And hopefully a better experience for all.

What do you use?

Actually I just run the preview 8.1 on my virtual machine. So I use none of them too, these three tools are collected from google. My daily computer runs on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

I'm using Iobit's Start Menu 8. Does the trick.

Another one to add to the list is http://startisback.com , although I've not tried it.

Wow, I didn't know you upgraded to Windows 8.

Took advantage of the €15 upgrade offer months ago, decided it's time to switch over.

I use IObit Start Menu 8 on my laptop, it saves a lot of time and work.

With one click I can switch between Desktop and Metro and I don't have to launch into Metro then back to Desktop to access basic navigation. I can launch Metro apps from the Desktop with ease.

Besides of just running Metro Apps, what is Metro good for?

Thanks.

Start8 and this one are paid software. That's will be great if they become freeware.

Adapting to Windows 8 is to forget what is done in windows 7.
Please usual procedures exclude at 7. Forget that there Desktop and Start Menu.
Windows 8 is not the 7 has another dimension graphics and layout. Access to information is personal and direct.

On my Ultrabook I use nothing. It has a touchscreen and I'm getting pretty used to the new style. On my main PC I use StartIsBack because I still find the old menu more versatile than the new interface.
