Default gStart Menu for MS Smartphone Released in Beta Version

http://www.airfagev.com/forum_view.asp?msg_id=169074

"gStart Menu can be used to replace your Start Menu to a grid menu with options to customize background and color schemes. You can also re-arrange your Start Menu order with it."

Every once in a while a little utility comes along that is truly useful. I think this may be one of them and it is a free beta.

This reminds me of the Palm OS Launcher.

Well, I didn't make the registry change to make this my default start menu. So I have to run it to use it. However, it's pretty slick. It looks a lot like the WM5 start menu that we have seen pictures of. I like the scroll bar at the bottom - it allows you to easily see where you are in the app. Plus the keypad numbers (1-9) are shortcuts to the app in the same location as the key.

Overall, I like it. 8)

Can you uninstall it? The last free software I installed...I just couldn't uninstall. And eventually had to hard reset my phone with all sorts of trouble. So would love to know that before I try it out Thanks.

I've installed this and its very nice. I can't answer the uninstall question because my entire uninstall section is empty. I have no idea what I did that caused that either. :lol:

Uninstalled without any problems - or at least nothing that I have noticed yet. :worried:

One word of caution, if you install this and do the registry change, before you uninstall, be sure to undo the registry change.
