Winx menu on windows 8 is nice feature because you can right click on hot corner and access useful tools in two clicks. pls add similar winx menu to classic shell right click on windows 7. already it has windows explorer but I wanna add more links.

So you want to click on the start button and launch some useful links? That's easy, use the start menu.

I would like this as well. I am used to right-clicking on the start menu icon and getting the win-x menu on 8 and it would be really nice to have access to that menu under 7!

An additional request would be to make it like the 8.1/2012R2 menu with "Shut Down or Sign Out" submenu. This is something I miss when I go from 8.1 back to 8.

That's what the Start menu is for. Just left click instead of right click.

This is an old thread (2014), and since then an option has been added in the Controls tab to use the Win+X menu on right click. Exactly what standarduser
was asking for.
;)
