Pokki: exactly should look like the Start menu in Windows 8

As you are probably well aware, in the upcoming Windows 8 developers have removed the Start menu familiar to us, replacing it with a new start-screen interface. Big trouble in this, but something did not seem enough. different tools developers have caught the trend and vied with each other to offer your options for replacing the Start button. We will introduce you to one of the most successful solutions, which may well take root on your computer.

Program Pokki already I met on our pages, but today we consider a special version adapted for Windows 8. After installing the program in your taskbar, the Start button on the site there is a new button in the form of nuts. When pressed, opens a menu that not only fully complies with all the functions of the main menu of the system, but also has many additional features.

As you can see from the screenshot, Pokki menu has several sections. Menu All Programs It gives the ability to run any installed programs on your computer. Section Control Panel It provides quick access to system settings and utilities, and

Favorites It allows you to create your own list of the most needed programs. The way to do that you can use not only available in the application system, but special pokki-applications that are specially adapted versions of popular Web services.

Pokki app store is a separate window, called from the main menu. Here there are a lot of applications from the most popular network services, including Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Vkontakte and so on. Best of all, the installed application not only allows you to quickly access the site you want, but also to integrate it into the system. Now you will receive pop-up notifications about new events, such as Gmail messages, or requests in Facebook, as well as see a summary of recent notifications directly from the Start menu... oh, sorry, in Pokki menu.

In addition, Pokki has several specific features designed specifically for Windows 8. In the settings you can disable the "hot" zone of the desktop on the left and on the right, turn on system boot right in the classic interface, disable calling the start screen by pressing the Win key and some other useful tweaks.

Summing up, I want to say that the replacement of the Start menu from Pokki turned in my opinion the most successful and promising. With this program, we have not only the usual playback of the previous versions of Windows system components, but also a number of qualitatively new and extremely useful features. I recommend.
