Many people don't like Windows Vista but they do like the new Vista Start menu which is easy to use, full of new features like instant search and looks great.
Now if you don't want to upgrade to Vista but want the same Start menu functionality in XP, then "ViStart" is a boon for you. ViStart is an excellent Vista Start menu clone for Windows XP. It integrates itself into Explorer perfectly. It replaces the default XP Start menu and brings the new Vista Start menu to XP.
It also indexes all program files and personal files, so you can get the same instant search results as of Windows Vista, even better than Vista.
ViStart is also skinnable, i.e. you can create your own ViStart skins and can change its look. There are lots of skins available for ViStart at DeviantART.com.
So if you have followed our "Transform Windows XP into Window Vista" tutorial and missing the new Programs menu and Instant Search in XP Start menu, then you should definitely give a try to ViStart. You'll never regret.
Its absolutely FREE and portable, so you don't need to install it. Just run the EXE file and enjoy it.
