    StartIsBack. Why is not listed on the pool?!. The rest is a piece of garbage and I had tried all of them.

    it's the best one out of the lot I've tried. And best of all, now StartIsBack 1.0 is compatible with Windows 8.1 and it requires no startup service to run like other Start Menu apps do

    ditto bro! and no activation limits like some apps do. you can activate as many times as you want as long as it is on the same PC. Stardock's Start8 for example puts a limit on activations even if it is on the same pc. 5 activations and the key is blacklisted
