I have the classic start button installed, so, to start the start screen is now a 2 step process. Go to the right side and then up to the button. It would be nice to have a shortcut on my desktop to make it a single step. BTW, I am starting to like W8. (I can't believe I said that) TerryV

If you buy start8 instead of using classicstart, you can set it up so that ctrl+winkey = start screen winkey = start menu or other combinations I can't remember ...
