DEP issue is sure shameful, expect a fix soon.

I've adressed this in a email. Now for Autoruns, it's not possible for it to detect every change in a COM registration registry database. COM database is a dark place where you can change one obscure entry and make your library load instead of another one in almost every process, since it's widely used inside all programs.

StartIsBack replaces two system shell classes in SOFTWARE\CLASSES branch.

I would be interested to make this version, but for now thethered jailbreak nature and lack of option to run Windows RT in virtual machine limits my options. Let's move discussion to the PM.

Installer runs with normal privileges. When you install for all users, it starts itself elevated. After elevated copy is finished installing, original unelevated process restarts explorer. So you can't get explorer elevated unless you run installer elevated at the first place.

Well, you're the only one having this issue, no? Because it can start explorer elevated only if you run StartIsBack_setup.exe elevated.

^^ and that's finally fixed VERSION 1.3.2 http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setup.exe Next version is under heavy development.

Version 1.3.1 http://startisback.com/#download-tab

Version 1.3 Release http://www.startisback.com/#download-tab Changes over RC: Business license keys are now available: http://www.startisback.com/#business-tab Those who donated $10 or more during development have Business license. Congratulations! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Stay tuned for 2013. Version 1.4 will bring some Modern UI integration. Improvements for enterprise and individual users are also planned.

Yes. Unfortunately it's a bug in Windows 8' Defender.

This will be fixed in the next version. This is a problem with Windows Defender, unfortunately. When start menu is querying link files to get icon, defender re-scans the target of the shortcut which slows system down. It slows down whole i/o sybsystem to the crawl when a lot of shortcuts are displayed (and search displays lot of them). Icon extraction hits timeout that's why icons could be not displayed. I'll try to increase timeout or create a more viable workaround but to get rid of this behavior you should use some other AV.

File is definitely fixed on server, try downloading with another browser.

If you add 1x3 empty png without 'resize to fit the taskbar' option checked, you will get no space for orb. I'll look into adding this option in future versions.

Re-download 1.3RC1, this was fixed with RTL menus 6 hours ago: http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setupRC.exe Sorry for the trouble.

Yeah, that's a bug Fixed, re-download RC via same link.

Version 1.3RC1 http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setupRC.exe

Which hotkeys? The ones you specified for shortcuts or system hotkeys? Where are shortcuts located? Both work for me.

I don't reproduce this, you're the first one to report this. Can you check if it happens without StartIsBack? It does not change bands nor interferes with saving process.

This shouldn't be the case with version 1.2.1 or later. This is normal and expected for non-bottom taskbar position though.

This isssue should be resolved in 1.3RC0

Programs are considered new for 1 day and until you launch them. Reinstalling programs may not mark them as new if they were launched before. Note that refreshing algorithm still needs to be improved so sometimes programs won't be highlighted right after installation.

geneticplasma's jumping orb issue.

Version 1.3 Release Candidate 0 http://www.startisback.com/StartIsBack_setupRC.exe 1.3 will likely contain no new major features but important fixes. In 1.3RC0 start menu refresh logic was improved and involves much less I/O which should fix performance problems and icon missing situations.

Unfortunately, it's not possible yet, but I hope it will be after 1.3.

Ehm. Is it (was it) BSOD or just blue screen without explorer loaded?
