You can also right-click on the taskbar and uncheck 'Show task view' and 'Show Cortana button' to hide two tools that weren't present in Windows 7.
Click 'OK', then open the Start menu to see the change. Launch the program, click the 'Start menu style' tab and select 'Windows 7 Style'. There are no potentially unwanted programs to worry about. To try it, download the latest release and run through the installer as directed. Thankfully, you restore the menu to its former glory using a free tool called Open-Shell-Menu (formerly known as Classic Shell). The Start Menu returned in Windows 10, to the relief of many, but it still looks quite different to the one you know and love from Windows 7. Microsoft tried getting rid of the Start menu altogether in Windows 8, replacing it with a colorful screen of rectangular tiles much like your phone's app selector. You can also turn on 'Use small taskbar icons' if you want the Windows 95 start button to fit in a little better.(Image credit: Ivo Beltchev) 2. This will show window titles next to the app icons, just like the default design in earlier versions of Windows. First, head over to the Taskbar settings (right click the Taskbar and select 'Taskbar settings'), and change 'Combine taskbar buttons' to 'Never'. There are a few additional changes you can make for a more authentic Windows 95 experience.
If you move the image file later, Open-Shell will revert back to the Aero button, so keep the image in your Documents folder or somewhere else safe. Download this settings file (ctrl+s in your browser), click the 'Skin' tab in the Open-Shell settings, click the 'Backup' button, and select 'Load from XML file.' Pick the settings file you just downloaded, and now your Start Menu should look a little closer to the classic Windows 95 style.įinally, download this bitmap image of the Windows 95 start button and select it from the custom start button section in Open-Shell for an even more authentic feel. The 'classic style' is closest to Windows 95, but we can get a little closer. After Open-Shell is done installing, it will give you a few layout options you can choose from.
