OpenStartMenu

OpenStartMenu is a simple Windows utility that provides a shortcut to the Start menu and features command lines for additional actions.
It doesnt require setup, so it can be saved in a custom location on the hard disk and directly launched. Otherwise, you can save it to a USB flash drive to run it on any computer with minimum effort and no previous installers. It doesnt need DLLs and doesnt change any settings in the Windows registry.
Double-clicking the .exe opens the Start menu. This shortcut can be pinned to the taskbar to open the Start menu when the Start button is not available or the Win key is not mapped for this action.
As previously mentioned, several command lines are available for enhancing OpenStartMenus functionality, and they can be viewed by running the tool with "/?". Its possible to open the Start menu at the current mouse location (/mouse), open it at the mouse location + or - x,y value (/mouse + |-[x] + |-[y]), or open it at the x,y location relative to the upper left corner of the screen (/screen x y).
Although these following command lines are not listed in the program, you can also hide the taskbar (/hidetaskbar) and show it again (/nostartmenu), without having to open the Start menu.
