First of all, many thanks for the program! I'm still using the trail version and evaluating it, but it's fantastic so far! No more friggin tablet interface on a PC...

Now for a small feature request (if it is possible to pull it off): I've been using Start8 as well, and the only that's better there right now is that it allows you to add shortcuts to custom folder on the right side of the start menu (where Documents, Pictures, etc. resides). Is that possible to add something similar to StartIsBack?
And for something pretty trivial. Would it be possible to bundle a Windows 8 style start button together with the program, mainly to tie it together "better" with Win8?
Neither is a big deal, but they would be a nice features.

And again, thanks for the program!

Bug in SIB 1.3.1 (maybe earlier, too)

Sometimes Icons moved - can't reproduce it.

Solution: Change Design

Yeah I got that from time to time... but as far as I remember, this doesn't happen with 1.3-rc1

thanks for the new version, but I gave it up. It looks like you don't want to fix the elevated explorer issue

 Win8_explorer.png (19.44K)
Number of downloads: 69

So I always have to do the Logoff after upgrade.

Well, you're the only one having this issue, no? Because it can start explorer elevated only if you run StartIsBack_setup.exe elevated.

[MagicAndre1981]

I think other have it, too but they don't know that they have it because they don't run any apps. I need to run it as admin to install it for all suers to C:\Program Files.

Can you use DuplicateTokenEx to get the old Explorer token, store it and start the Shell again with this token (CreateProcessWithTokenW)? I don't know how you run the Shell again.

[Tihiy]

Installer runs with normal privileges. When you install for all users, it starts itself elevated. After elevated copy is finished installing, original unelevated process restarts explorer.
So you can't get explorer elevated unless you run installer elevated at the first place.

ok, this explains it. To avoid this second restart I've always started the setup elevated.

I think having a "Modern UI applications" folder in start menu would be great imho, for example like Start8.

What's the chance we can get a Windows RT (arm) version of this compiled (for jailbroken machines?)

If you need some assistance, I'm sure I can help.

I would be interested to make this version, but for now thethered jailbreak nature and lack of option to run Windows RT in virtual machine limits my options. Let's move discussion to the PM.

Yeah been using 1.3.2 for a while and it looks like it's really fixed. Thanks @Tihiy

SIB simply the best love it much.

[CharlotteTheHarlot]

Tihiy,

Congratulations, you win in a good review of 5 Start Menu replacers.

Links in another MSFN thread. Look here.

[RMSimpson]

Hi everyone, love SIB. Best start menu replacement I have used so far.

My questions is how is it set to autorun? I know it is just a .dll that explorer.exe loads, but where in the registry is it set to load automatically? Just curious as Sysinternals Autoruns does not detect it.

[ender`]

It's probably loaded as a shell extension.

[RMSimpson]

Yeah probably but typically Autoruns can detect those. It detects other shell extensions.

[Tihiy]

StartIsBack replaces two system shell classes in SOFTWARE\CLASSES branch.
