About StartMenuEx
Have you ever wanted more functionality in your Start Menu?
How about the ability to quickly apply different themes and icon packs?
Would life be easier if you could switch between different Start Menus when you are doing different things? For example: A Start Menu for when you are at home which only contains a list of games!
We are pleased to introduce StartMenuEx, a revolutionary, new and free Start Menu replacement!
StartMenuEx is a replacement for the windows Start Menu. It takes over the start button and shows your own customisable menu. StartMenuEx was designed to be completely customisable and extendable so that the general public could add to the interface, allowing for millions of different possible Start Menu configurations and looks.

StartMenuEx is totally customisable:
- Plugins:Download or create your own plugins for StartMenuEx! Plugins allow StartMenuEx to be extended with new menu items. An example of a plugin is the MSNMessenger plugin, which shows a list of your MSN contacts and allows you to click a contact to open up a conversation window without having to open the MSN Messenger main window!
- Themes:Download or create your own Themes, which define the colours, gradients etc. of your personal Start Menu.
- IconSets:Download or create your own icon sets, so you can try out sets used by other people from around the world.
- Menus:Create different menus to use at different times! Menus can be quickly switched so that you only see what you need to see in your Start Menu! You can also easily design your own menus using the built in Menu Editor.
