Original Start Menu

from WinCustomize Forums
I would like my entire Start Menu to appear as if I pressed the Start Button on my taskbar. How can I accomplish this. When I add a Start Button menu to a dock it only opens the Program Folder, but I would really like the entire Start Menu to appear like it was if I press Start. How can I accomplish this? Is it possible and how do I do it?

free or plus version of ObjectDock?
WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

Well thy should work in somewhat of the same way, have you been able to accomplish what I am trying to do?

I hadn't tried that, I usually just use the windows key or leave the bar visible.

Can't try it at work. I'll check this post later and if there are no answers, I'll see what I can do with the free.

I'm pretty sure what you want can also be accomplished with objectbar and through desktopx.

There may be a way to do it with a docklet, there may be one here somewhere..i don't know.

Only way I can get what you described is to hide the taskbar with objectdock, then press the windows key (or winkey or meta or the key with the picture of a window). You have no taskbar, but hit the key and your entire start panel pops up.

You need a program called Presstart.exe Link
Just link to it as a dockentry - works like a charm.

There is a docklet too, by AndreasV, that works really well. I shall attempt to find a link.
