A long time ago, the Start Button was invented. Immortal, Unchangeable, Merciless. It took the invaluable space of our Taskbars.
But now we have a hero who will kill the hated Start Button and save the Earth!
Just run the Start Killer and the Start Button will be killed. Exit the Start Killer to return the Start Button back and go back to the dark side.

Download the installation package, run it and follow the instructions (press Next and then Finish ;) ). After installation is finished run the Start Killer from the Start Menu. Right-click the Start Killer tray icon to exit or open the Settings dialog box. Turn on the option Load on system startup if you want to run Start Killer automatically when the Windows starts.
Use the CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F12 to open the Settings dialog box without the tray icon.
Start Killer can kill the Metro UI (start menu and charm bars) like the Metro Killer. Now you don't need to run the Metro Killer. Just turn on the option in the Start Killer settings.
