Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system. A clean install. It installs in my case a 64 bit application. Comes preregistered.

A (Ukrainian?) company without name and address, but a message from the developer Denis Nazaranko:
"A word from the developer: I just love free programs and really like it when I can use a good product free of charge. In this case, I did my best to make the free version as functional as possible. However, if you need more, get the PRO version and support further development of this software. I totally understand that you’d be glad to see the PRO version features in the free version, but I just can’t do it, since software development is my primary source of income, so if I don’t sell enough copies of the paid edition, I may end up becoming a canned tuna factory worker with no time or energy to develop software altogether.

I hope you understand and will support the development of new versions of this program.

Best regards, Denis Nazarenko"

We had ha d several times this program in the past. The last time Start Menu X Pro 5.30 on January 25, 2015. Here are the old reviews:
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/start-menu-x-pro-5-3/

And Mr. Nazarenko is still convinced:
"Start Menu X is the most functional of all programs replacing the Start Menu. Even the free version of the Start Menu X has more features than its paid competitors. These are not just words - see for yourself:""
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Start_Menu_replacements_for_Windows_8

I had installed this program the last time in January. I have used this program since then without any problems.
I'll update it. It does what it claims - this is not always the case.

In the program folder, there is a TidyStartMenu.exe, you can use this to define the groups.

I bought this super little program the last time it was on GOTD, and have enjoyed a trouble free tidy and organized menu system since.
You can group all your programs into different categories, there are some presets but you can very easily create headings yourself.
It takes a little while I found to place them into the groups you choose, but simple to do, and worth the effort, especially, if like me, you have millions of programs.
The cascade method of display goes further than windows as you move towards the program you wish to select, all well thought out, but still takes a little getting used to.
A tip I found, is that clicking on the start icon, (I chose angry bird for my PC), with the shift key pressed, allows you to flip between Start Menu X and the original start menu, this is useful when you first start using it until you get yourself organized.
Snap it up, you will use it I am sure.

This is one of my all time favorite programs - and it is the first program I install whenever I start up a new computer. My principal reasons for this are:

1) being able to see all of my installed programs on a single screen;
2) being able to launch any program with a single click;
3) being able to alphabetize all my programs for ease of selection;
4) being able to setup multiple launch options for a single program - one button launches program X¹, another launches X², a third instance launches X³, etc.;
5) the developer of the program has always responded quickly and helpfully to my occasional need for tech support or implementing / modifying new feature requests; and,
6) it already works with Windows 10.

Yes, I really do love this program; and no, I don't work for the company or have any financial interest in them. Its just great software.

I am very happy with the default Start Menu in Windows 8 and even more happy with Windows 10. I have set it up exactly the way I like it and I won't replace it with a featureless program such as this. I am sure many people will find this useful, but it's not for me.

Great, Gavin, you like the start menu provided with Windows. However, it doesn't serve any purpose to dis today's offer, which isn't a featureless program. How did you come to that conclusion ? Did you actually try it, and which features did you miss, since you gave the program such a thumbs down.

I like the program - and the free version as well, because it shows me this practical view over my installations. I can arrange programs in different sectors, and that makes my every day use of my pc (computers) a lot easier. Thanks a lot to Ordinary Soft for this generous offer (not the first time) and of course the team behind GAOTD. Today, was my lucky day for sure. Greetings from a rainy and cold Denmark. We can't have all, can we ;)
