Oh, thanks, basj - that makes sense !
I'm presuming that this functionality will come to Start11 in time ? This is one thing that I am waiting for (can't stand the dull blue 4 squares logo - would love to get the blue "ball" logo with windows symbol on it back again).
Also, would love the option to have the Windows 7 style start menu back again (but I think that has been requested in another thread).
