Software summary / short description: "One of the new features of Windows 8 is Win+X "Start" menu. It is non-customizable part of the operating system.

Message to maintainers

It looks like the website does not allow a direct download using the download link, so additional work to have a working package will be needed.

I am still opening it up to new maintainers, as I do believe it is possible.

[pauby]

I will look at picking this one up.

[AdmiringWorm]

@pauby could be that all you have to do is set a User Agent and maybe a referer (it all depends on how the website is implemented).

[AdmiringWorm]

@pauby any update on this request?

[pauby]

@AdmiringWorm I have had no time to pick this up although I am trying to carve out some time to update / pick up the packages. At the moment though it might better to make it available for others.

[AdmiringWorm]

Alright, at the moment I think moving it back so other people can pick it up is appropriate.
Feel free to pick it up yourself when you have time though.

[karolzlot]

I am bumping this one, because the software still works ok and is quite useful for example to add Windows Terminal and Windows Terminal (Administrator) entries. (It is enought to first make working .lnk shortcuts and then add them in this app)

[pauby]

@karolzlot There is no bump here that woudl help. If you want to pick it up then you can do so otherwise we need to wait for somebody else.
