Win+X Menu Editor for Windows 8


One of the new features of upcoming Windows 8 is Win+X "Start" menu. It is non-customizable part of Windows 8. Win+X Menu Editor is my latest work and it serves to provide you a simple and useful way to edit Win+X menu without system files modification. It keeps your system integrity untouched.

Latest version is 2.5.0.2, it supports Windows 8 RTM and Windows 8 Release preview.
