I'm looking for a way to make Windows 8 more usable.
I'm used to the traditional Windows desktop (actually the Win 98 classic view in Win XP - maybe I'm a Luddite) where the Start menu items are nested (or a tree structure). e.g. MS Office installs one start menu item called MS Office. Sub menus offer the choice of Word, Excel, etc)
The Win 8 Start page installs every item as a separate tile often without a good description. e.g. I have a couple of programs that have installed a tile called "Read Me" with no indication of what program they belong.
Even the Desktop offers no way to nest a menu.
I have an exceptionally large number of programs that I need to install. I know that once installed, the Start page will be an impossible mess.
Does anyone know of a way to create a Start screen tile or Desktop icon that, when clicked, will open a sub menu of choices? Then I can place all related links in that sub menu.
