There are many different ways and means of customizing the Windows 7 desktop, both using tools built into the OS itself, and third-party applications to change more setting. But they all seem to make one assumption: that the default location for the Start menu’s button -- the left or top of the Taskbar depending on its position -- is the right one.
If you are bored of look at the same old Windows 7 Start Orb, you can now change it easily. Start Orb Mover comes from the folk at The Windows Club, and is still very much in its early stages of development, despite the 1.0 version number. There are many things to like about it -- small download (1MB) and portability, so there’s no installation or messing about with system files involved.
