If there’s one complaint you can expect to hear when a new version of Windows rolls out, it’s “What did they do to the Start Menu?” If you just want the start menu in Windows 10 to look and function the way the Windows 7 Start Menu did, we’re here to help.

如果有新的Windows版本推出時您可能會聽到抱怨，那就是“他們對“開始”選單做了什麼？” 如果您只希望Windows 10中的開始選單具有Windows 7開始選單的外觀和功能，我們將為您提供幫助。

我為什麼要這樣做？ (Why Do I Want To Do This?)

Maybe you love the Windows 10 Start Menu, which is essentially an extension and revision of the Windows 8 Start Menu. Perhaps the tile-based Metro UI system doesn’t irritate you and you don’t have a problem with the removal of the traditional Start Menu styling. If so this tutorial certainly isn’t for you and it’s great that the new layout doesn’t bother you or fill you fits of nostalgia for the GUIs of yesteryear.

也許您喜歡Windows 10開始選單，它本質上是Windows 8開始選單的擴充套件和修訂。 也許基於圖塊的Metro UI系統不會激怒您，並且消除傳統的“開始選單”樣式也沒有問題。 如果是這樣，那麼本教程當然不適合您，並且新的佈局不會打擾您或讓您充滿懷舊的GUI，這真是太好了。

Not everyone (and we’ll include ourselves in that group), however, is such a fan of the new Start Menu system. Some people learned how to wrestle with the Start Menu back in Windows 8 and they’ll take that experience with them to Windows 10.Most people skipped Windows 8 altogether though and the massive rollout of Windows 10 is going to send them slamming headlong into a totally new Start Menu paradigm that doesn’t suit their workstyle or sensibilities about what a Start Menu should be in the first place.If you’re among those new Windows 10 users that want nothing to do with the new menu, we’re here to help sort things out.

但是，並不是每個人(我們都會將自己包括在該組中)都喜歡新的“開始選單”系統。 有些人學會了如何在Windows 8中使用“開始”選單進行搏擊，並將這種體驗帶入Windows10。儘管大多數人完全跳過了Windows 8，但Windows 10的大規模推出將使他們猛烈抨擊。全新的“開始選單”範例，不適合他們的工作風格或對“開始”選單應該放在什麼位置的敏感性。 如果您屬於那些不希望與新選單有任何關係的Windows 10新使用者，我們將在這裡幫助您解決問題。

Now, before we proceed, we do want to make it clear that just because we’re not huge fans of what Microsoft has done with the Windows 10 Start Menu (and the Windows 8 menu before that) doesn’t mean we’re outright negative toward Windows 10 in general. We’ve installed Windows 10 on everything from desktop PCs to our aging ultrabook laptop and have been rather impressed with the improvements found therein (that old ultrabook hasn’t run so snappy since, well, ever).

現在，在繼續之前，我們要明確地說，僅僅是因為我們不是Microsoft對Windows 10“開始”選單(以及之前的Windows 8選單)所做的事情的忠實擁護者，並不意味著我們會完全通常對Windows 10不利。 我們已經在從桌上型電腦到老化的超極本膝上型電腦的所有裝置上都安裝了Windows 10，並且對其中的改進效果印象深刻(自那以後，舊的超極本就沒有那麼快地運行了)。

我需要什麼？ (What Do I Need?)

Thankfully we won’t be doing any mucking about in the registry, there’s no hand-editing of any variables or values, and you won’t have to make any sacrifices to ensure the process works smoothly.

值得慶幸的是，我們不會在登錄檔中做任何事情，也不會手工編輯任何變數或值，並且您無需做出任何犧牲就可以確保過程順利進行。

The only thing we need, besides your Windows 10 installation, is a very handy little program known as Classic Shell. The Classic Shell program includes both an overhaul to the Start Menu system that allows you to switch out the Windows 8/Windows 10 system for the classic single column Start Menu that harkens all the way back to Windows XP, a two-column arrangement, and the Windows 7 style.

除了安裝Windows 10外，我們唯一需要的是一個非常方便的小程式，稱為Classic Shell。 Classic Shell程式包括對“開始選單”系統的大修，該系統使您可以將Windows 8 / Windows 10系統切換為經典的單列“開始選單”，該選單可以一直追溯到Windows XP，分為兩列，並且Windows 7樣式。

In addition to adjusting the Start Menu, the focus of our tutorial today, the Classic Shell system includes not only the Classic Start Menu but Classic Explorer (a package of tweaks and adjustments for the Windows Explorer experience). So far we haven’t felt much compulsion to dig into changing the way Windows 10 handles Windows Explorer but the tweaks are there if you’d like to dig into them.

除了調整“開始選單”(本教程今天的重點)之外，Classic Shell系統不僅包括“經典開始選單”，還包括“經典資源管理器”(針對Windows資源管理器體驗的一系列調整和調整)。 到目前為止，我們還沒有深深地希望改變Windows 10處理Windows資源管理器的方式，但是如果您想深入研究它們，可以進行一些調整。

You can download Classic Shell at the project homepage here. As of the publication of this article we recommend using the beta release as it will have the most current adjustments for Windows 10. Once Windows 10 has been officially released for awhile the changes will be less frequent and the beta adjustments in the program will be folded into the stable release.

您可以在專案主頁上下載Classic Shell。 從本文釋出之日起，我們建議使用beta版，因為它將對Windows 10進行最新調整。一旦Windows 10正式釋出了一段時間，更改的頻率將降低，並且程式中的beta版調整將被摺疊進入穩定版本。

Update: Classic Shell is no longer being developed, but volunteers are now maintaining the program under the name Open Shell. You’ll probably want to try that instead.

更新：Classic Shell不再開發，但是志願者現在以Open Shell的名義維護該程式。 您可能想嘗試一下。

Before we jump into the actual process though, we’d like to take a minute to encourage you to donate a few buck to the Classic Shell project if you find the Classic Shell useful. The program has been chugging along for years (since 2009), it’s free, and it’s maintained and curated by a single guy. It’s a lot easier to keep maintaining and updating a long running project when enough of your users care enough to help keep the lights turned on.

但是，在進入實際流程之前，如果您發現Classic Shell有用，我們想花一點時間鼓勵您向Classic Shell專案捐款。 該程式已經運行了很多年(自2009年以來)，它是免費的，並且由一個人維護和策劃。 當足夠多的使用者關心並保持照明狀態開啟時，繼續維護和更新長期執行的專案會容易得多。

安裝和配置經典Shell (Installingand Configuring Classic Shell)

Download the installation executable from the project homepage, linked in the previous section, and run it. While you can opt to not install individual elements (like the Classic Explorer components) they aren’t activated until you turn them on so there is little harm in installing the entire package in one swoop.

從上一節中連結的專案主頁下載安裝可執行檔案，然後執行它。 儘管您可以選擇不安裝單個元素(例如Classic Explorer元件)，但直到您將它們開啟才啟用它們，因此一口氣安裝整個軟體包幾乎沒有什麼害處。

Once the installation is complete, you begin the Start Menu configuration process by, intuitively, clicking on the Start Button on the toolbar. The following menu will pop up.

安裝完成後，您可以通過直觀地單擊工具欄上的“開始”按鈕來開始“開始選單”配置過程。 將會彈出以下選單。

Here you can opt to adopt the Classic, Classic with two columns, or Windows 7 style menu. As the goal of this tutorial is to recreate the Windows 7 style, we’ll leave it as the default. We’ll return to this menu in a moment, but for now simply confirm you have Windows 7 selected and click OK.

在這裡，您可以選擇採用經典，兩欄經典或Windows 7樣式選單。 由於本教程的目標是重新建立Windows 7樣式，因此將其保留為預設樣式。 稍後我們將返回此選單，但現在只需確認您已選擇Windows 7，然後單擊“確定”即可。

Now let’s open up the Start Menu by clicking on the Start Button again.

現在，通過再次單擊“開始”按鈕來開啟“開始”選單。

We kept the screenshot above to the exact same scale as the Windows 10 Start Menu screenshot in the introduction of article. Not only is the Start Menu nice and compact but the Classic Shell team has thoughtfully included a Metro-themed skin (that sets as the default at that). We get exactly the same layout and comfortable familiarity of the Windows 7 menu but in a nice theme that meshes with the other UI tweaks in Windows 10.

我們將上面的螢幕截圖與本文介紹中的Windows 10開始選單螢幕截圖保持完全相同的比例。 “開始”選單不僅美觀，緊湊，而且Classic Shell團隊深思熟慮地包含了以Metro為主題的面板(該面板被設定為預設面板)。 我們獲得了與Windows 7選單完全相同的佈局和熟悉度，但主題與Windows 10中的其他UI調整緊密結合。

And, super convenient, we didn’t lose the Windows 10 Start Menu at all. If you needanythingin the Windows 10 menu that isn’t in the Classic Shell menu (or you’re having trouble locating it at any rate) all you need to do is click on the entry at the very top of the Windows 7 Classic Shell menu labeled “Start Menu (Windows)” as seen in the screenshot above and it kicks you immediately (and temporarily) into the true Windows 10 Start Menu. The next time you click the Start Button, however, you’ll be right back in the Windows 7 style menu without a hitch.

而且，非常方便，我們完全沒有丟失Windows 10開始選單。 如果您需要在Windows 10的選單，是不是在Classic Shell選單東西(或您無法在任何速度中找到它)所有你需要做的只是點選進入，在Windows 7的經典的最頂端如上面的螢幕快照所示，標有“開始選單(Windows)”的Shell選單，它會立即(暫時)將您踢入真正的Windows 10“開始”選單。 但是，下次單擊“開始”按鈕時，您將立即回到Windows 7樣式選單中。

調整經典選單 (Tweaking The Classic Menu)

Many people will be thrilled with just the default settings (the Windows 7 style menu + the Metro theme). If you’d like to do some further tweaking you can simply right click on the Start Button and access the Classic Start Menu settings via the “Settings” option as seen below.

預設設定(Windows 7樣式選單+ Metro主題)會讓很多人激動。 如果您想進行進一步的調整，只需右鍵單擊開始按鈕，然後通過“設定”選項訪問經典開始選單設定，如下所示。

That selection will send you right back to the menu we saw when we first ran Classic Start Menu and you can make adjustments like switching to the “Classic with two columns” setup. By digging further into the additional tabs you’ll find a huge number of tweaks and settings you can play with.

該選擇將使您立即返回到我們首次執行Classic Start Menu時所看到的選單，您可以進行調整，例如切換到“兩列經典”設定。 通過進一步研究其他選項卡，您將發現大量可以使用的調整和設定。

In addition to switching the column-style of the menu you can also swap out the actual Start Menu button icon itself if you’re so inclined. You can do so by checking “Replace Start button” at the bottom of the default “Start Menu Style” tab. Select from Aero, Classic, or supply a custom image.

除了切換選單的列樣式之外，如果您願意，還可以交換實際的“開始選單”按鈕圖示本身。 您可以通過檢查預設“開始選單樣式”選項卡底部的“替換開始按鈕”來實現。 從Aero，Classic中選擇，或提供自定義影象。

Don’t worry, you’re not on the hook for designing your own custom image/animation, there are thousands of people online that have shared their creations. You can find new Start Menu buttons simply by searching in Google for “Classic Start Menu buttons” and then some descriptor like “Windows 10” if you’re looking for buttons with a Windows 10 theme. You can also hit up the official forum here.

不用擔心，您不必設計自己的自定義影象/動畫，網上有成千上萬的人分享了他們的作品。 您只需在Google中搜索“經典的開始選單按鈕”，然後搜尋諸如Windows 10的某些描述符(如果您正在尋找具有Windows 10主題的按鈕)，就可以找到新的開始選單按鈕。 您也可以在此處訪問官方論壇。

Under the “Basic Settings” tab you can adjust Start Menu related functions like what happens when you press the Windows key or combinations thereof. You can also adjust how the Programs Menu opens on the Start Menu, swap the shutdown button default (we always switch ours to Hibernate so we don’t accidently shut our PCs down), and tweak the on-menu search box.

在“基本設定”選項卡下，您可以調整與開始選單相關的功能，例如按Windows鍵或其組合時會發生的情況。 您還可以調整“程式”選單在“開始”選單上的開啟方式，交換預設的“關閉”按鈕(我們始終將其切換為“Hibernate”，這樣我們就不會意外關閉PC)，並調整選單上的搜尋框。

Under the “Skin” tab you can swap out the skin on your Classic Shell Menu from the default Metro theme to other themes like Windows Aero. We’ll be honest though, while we really like the Windows 7 style menu once you’ve seen the clean UI update to Windows 10 (ugly Start Menu aside) you probably won’t want to go back to the now-fairly-dated-looking Aero look. The Areo theme, in our opinion, just looks out of place among all the other GUI improvements.

在“面板”選項卡下，您可以將“經典外殼”選單上的面板從預設的Metro主題換成其他主題，例如Windows Aero。 坦白說，雖然我們非常喜歡Windows 7風格的選單，但是一旦您看到乾淨的UI更新到Windows 10(除了醜陋的“開始”選單)，您可能就不想回到現在的日期了的航空外觀。 我們認為，Areo主題在所有其他GUI改進中顯得格格不入。

Finally, and we highly recommend you check this tab out even if you’re happy with everything else, the “Customize Start Menu” tab.

最後，即使您對“ Customize Start Menu”(自定義開始選單)標籤感到滿意，我們也強烈建議您簽出該標籤。

Here you’ll find a big old pile of fun things you can toggle on and off. Miss a direct link to your default Downloads directory? Turn it on. Don’t care about your Music or Games folders? Turn them off. Actually use Metro apps? (We won’t judge.) There’s a toggle for that too: you can directly access the Metro app links off the Classic Shell without opening the default Windows 10 Start Menu up.

在這裡，您會發現很多有趣的東西，您可以開啟和關閉它們。 是否缺少指向預設下載目錄的直接連結？ 開啟它。 不在乎您的“音樂”或“遊戲”資料夾？ 把它們關掉。 實際使用Metro應用程式嗎？ (我們不會判斷。)對此也有一個切換：您可以直接從Classic Shell中訪問Metro應用程式連結，而無需開啟預設的Windows 10開始選單。

Finally if you want to get really crazy and micromanage every aspect of the Start Menu experience from the millisecond timing of the menu to the infotip popup delay to the way icons load, then you need to check “Show all settings” at the top of the menu. You’ll go from four tabs to 13 and gain the ability to tweak things most users never even consider modifying. Don’t worry though, you don’t have to pick every setting from scratch when you switch over to the all-settings mode it keeps all the current defaults and just gives you the option to tweak them. If you do take the time to tweak the menu that in depth, however, we’d strongly encourage you to use the backup button at the bottom of the menu and backup all the tweaks you’ve made to an XML file you can save and then import later if the need should arise.

最後，如果您想真正瘋狂並開始管理“開始”選單的各個方面(從選單的毫秒計時到資訊提示彈出延遲到圖示載入方式)，則需要選中“顯示所有設定”選單。 您將從四個選項卡轉到13個選項卡，並能夠調整大多數使用者甚至不考慮修改的內容。 不過，請放心，切換到“所有設定”模式時不必從頭開始選擇所有設定，它會保留所有當前預設值，併為您提供調整它們的選項。 但是，如果您確實花時間對選單進行了深入的調整，我們強烈建議您使用選單底部的備份按鈕，並將所做的所有調整備份到XML檔案中，然後儲存並儲存。然後在需要時再匯入。

With Classic Shell all you need is a few minutes to install things, another minute or two to tweak the basic settings, and you’re in business. The Windows 10 Start Menu looks like Windows 7 and all the stuff on it is right where you want it: not a tile in sight.

使用Classic Shell，您只需花費幾分鐘來安裝東西，再花一兩分鐘來調整基本設定，就可以開始工作了。 Windows 10的開始選單看起來像Windows 7，並且所有選單項都在您想要的位置：看不見瓷磚。
