  1. +1.0 RC3 http://startisback.com/StartIsBackPlus_setupRC.exe
  2. Boo! Now how can we fix that problem? Can you recall the list of apps you had 8.1 which can modify shell? Extensions, tweakers, replacements, skinning, etc?
  3. You can add Quick Launch to taskbar, then drop Metro apps shortcuts from Start Apps:
  4. kong, I can confirm this. PandaX, you're not running StartIsBack+.
  5. Better don't touch anything and wait for the fixed release, if you experienced start button (Win key) not working issue on RTM. As is RC2 should work on RTM with no issues.
  6. Version 2.1.2 - New translations - Fixed lot of minor configurator issues (incorrect shutdown option list, 'shared corners' not working on x64, rare crash) - Startscreen.exe /pintostartmenu filepath to pin filepath to start menu. Also you may check out slightly updated group policy. Hope I didn't screw anything.
  7. You may want to enable micropayment fee for your account.
  8. It's enough for me. Some third-party software is blocking taskbar communication. Is start button disjointed (not moving) if you move the taskbar?
  9. +1.0 RC2 This is the last RC planned. PandaX, can you please do debug log for your issue?
  10. That's good because now I'll be able to debug it. Download DebugView and run it for some time while the issue happens, then attach log here. Thx!
  11. +1.0 RC1 This build contains additional debugging info to help fix Windows key not working issue. Also, I have some 8.1 File Explorer fixes/legacies at hand / in mind, but not still not sure if they apply to SIB.
  12. Such issue wasn't reported. I would consider some common software like antivirus wrecking things; do graphical glitches start to occur in other places of desktop / explorer? Try to go to program configuration and press OK to reload start menu in such situation.
  13. Is it applicable to windows 8.1 preview with SIB + RC0? This does not really work since Windows 7. It makes EXEs listed unpinnable, but start menu operates on shortcuts and their AppIDs. I can't reproduce your issue yet. PandaX, neither I did reproduce your issue, but i'll have some blind fix for it.
  14. StartIsBack can make All Programs expandable. You can add custom folders into right side of menu with StartIsBack+ on Windows 8.1.
  15. I did on 9471. Do you have Windows long-press configured? Try setting it to "Do nothing" if so, it could fix this.
  16. albza97, your issue has been resolved. Download updated RC0. Or remove malformed (default) value from Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer registry key.
  17. Can you reproduce this step-by-step? Are there any duplicate shortcuts for those items, like both on desktop and start menu? Do you have a policy to clear recently used programs on exit?
  18. Please export the following keys with regedit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage3 and attach here
  19. I guess something wrong in the registry. Do you have any error before you press Activate button? Try uninstalling StartIsBack+ with checkbox 'Remove settings and license data'.
  20. If you right-click a program and choose "Remove from this list" it should not reappear again. If you noticed that some program does, please tell me which program that is.
  21. It's nice concept but it's not StartIsBack. The point of Start menu is to be a central place of the system to get to place you want as quickly / easily as possible. Your concept does not solve any problems start menu has. Try to concept having those problems / ideas in mind: - Start menu should show as many things as possible without feeling too cramped or overblown - Start menu should have all items accessible in 1 click - All apps should show only useful items (programs), which are categorized somehow - Start menu should show all items user can be interested in: programs, files, websites - Start menu should show thumbnails for documents - Modern apps should be in Start menu, but be distinguished In other news, Windows 8.1 Build 9471 has leaked and SIB+ works there, although there's some minor issues.
  22. +1.0 Release Candidate Zero http://startisback.com/StartIsBackPlus_setupRC.exe It kind of boring waiting for 8.1 RTM. This release brings more polish. Feels weird being 1.0 again. Hidden setting: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\StartIsBack "AlignMenuTop" = DWORD 1 to make start menu not cover the taskbar when on the side
  23. I find that hard to believe. Sorry, what?
  24. That's how OK/Cancel/Apply buttons work for setting dialogs since 1995.
  25. Tell me if my ideas for Windows 8.1 File Explorer improvements are bad: http://www.polljunkie.com/poll/fgbkmo/file-explorer-startisback http://tihiy.net/files/howthismaylook.png
