After you installed your own programs, go to the Start Screen find
the program and pin it to the Taskbar. If you can not find it in
on the Start Screen, click the down arrow in the lower right of the
Start Screen and find it on the Apps screen, You first pin it to
start and then to the Taskbar.

After you've installed all your programs go to the Start screen and
unpin all the crap you don't want. Then go to Apps screen and pin all
your programs to the Start screen. All of a sudden the Start screen is
totally usable. And way easier to deal with than a little menu.


And when you've run out of space on the taskbar-

No need to do that. Use the Start screen. One click, you're there.


Install Classic Shell and configure it to behave like Windows 7. Then
you can customise (and rename if you like) the Documents item in the
black part of the Start menu to point to a folder full of shortcuts
and sub-folders that you can create yourself and place wherever you
like. Then your computer is working the way you want it to, not the
other way around.

Rod.

yep

I install Classic Shell on all Win8 machines I work on
and it sure gives the users a lot of relief.

Easy to have the Win7 GUI
