How to open the Start Menu with a little application (only 14 ko) made by Chris'n'Soft
Plugin:
First go to http://www.chrisnsoft.com/download/
Scroll down to OpenStartMenu and download the file, and you can also in the same time copy the text of the parameters for the .exe file.
Stop Rainmeter and place the .exe file in the Rainmeter Plugins folder.
Skin:
Choose a Png image for the Start Menu and add it in a skin folder, or create a skin for it (acting like a desktop icon).
The following example is the Meter code added in the .ini file of a Sidebar skin, to have the Start Menu open at his default location.
To open the Start Menu just left click on the Windows logo image.
I talked to Christian Salmon of ChrisNSoft, he's allowed us to include his code in a rainmeter plugin as open source software... I've made a post regarding this to http://code.google.com/p/rainmeter/issues/detail?id=49#c0 Hopefully we can get this feature, and others, integrated before too long.
