Windows 8 ButtonHi friends! I am back again with a tutorial to create start button in windows 8. When i switched into windows 8 from windows 7, i was totally shocked for the first time because i was unable to locate my start button! Although windows OS has friendly user interface then another OS, i felt very uneasy to use windows 8 because i was missing my Start Button!                                             Windows 7 and Previous versions were made to run on more traditional computers such as laptops, desktops,or notebooks, Windows 8 and later OS are made to run on a wider variety of devices. It can also be used
successfully on tablets, computers with touch screens, and hybrids that combine the versatility of a laptop with the mobility of a tablet and cellphones. And If everything would start with start button then it would create problems for small devices. So, Microsoft decided to remove Start Button and Make use of Start Screen. But when it comes to habit of using Start Button most of the windows users feel difficult to locate it though there is secret Start Menu at the left bottom corner of the screen. Microsoft lopped off the Start menu in Windows 8 to force people to use the Start screen. And I'll admit it, the Start screen does offers several benefits. For those users who don't want to go for windows 8.1 and 10 (Start Button is back in  8.1 and 10) and want back their start button into their task-bar in windows 8 follow the following steps:

1. Right click on desktop and Goto new and shortcut.
 
2. Create Shortcut Dialog box will appear, in the text area copy paste the following code:
                 explorer.exe shell:::{2559a1f8-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}


and click on Next.



3.Type name for the shortcut as "START" without quotes.



4. Click on finish.

Now you will see a shortcut on your desktop with name START.

5. Change the icon by right-click>>properties>>change icon.
(You can download windows 8 logo for start button)


6. Again, Right-click on it and click pin to taskbar and click and drag it to relocate its proper position in the taskbar.
