This is the software publisher's description.

Convenient alternative to the plain Start menu you find in Windows XP and Windows Vista. The program uses your cognitive abilities (visual memory, reflexes,etc.); however, while it is easily understandable for beginners, it is also highly efficient for experienced users.

Programs are easy to find because they are exactly where you left them. It's always confusing in the regular menu when you install or remove some programs and some or all of your other programs change their positions. That's why it was difficult for you to find your programs. Vista Start Menu keeps the positions of programs the same and leaves empty space in the menu when you un-install a program. But not to worry a new program will occupy this space in time.

We developed this product so that a professional user can work without taking his or her hands away from the keyboard. Even a beginner will use the mouse less, thanks to having all the necessary commands at hand. In the past, you had to press the arrow keys and other keys several times until you reached the item you needed. Now you can start any program with just a couple of keystrokes. The program splits the list into sections. You select the necessary section with the first key (for example, by pressing E) and then select the item in the section by pressing one of the keys 1 to 9.
