Edit the Win-X menu in Windows 8
A new way to edit your menu
Several new features and changes are introduced with the Windows 8 operating system. You probably heard about the new start page and the missing start menu. Microsoft has added a menu to the desktop part of Windows 8 that displays quick links to administrative and often used programs and settings of the operating system. When you use Win-X to display the menu, you see direct links to the command prompt, event viewer, device manager, task manager, control panel and search among other links.
The Win-X Menu Editor for Windows 8 adds options to manage those menu items in the operating system. Microsoft’s SmartFilter will block the execution of the program on first run. You need to click on the more info link and then on run anyway to execute the program. In addition, browsers like Chrome may also block the saving of the program on your system. When you first start the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the program, you are presented with the list of shortcuts that are currently displayed on the Win-X menu when you invoke it on the system. The editor separates items into groups which are separated by a horizontal bar in the menu. You can now move items around in their group which will invoke a second SmartScreen Filter warning that you again need to bypass before the selected item is moved around in the group.
