People are often annoyed in Windows 8 that there is not an "All Programs" toolbar in the start menu.
To get around this you can add the following toolbar to your taskbar.
On the right hand side of your taskbar you will not see a "Programs >>" button. Click the ">>" and it will bring up a list of all installed programs on the PC similar to how it was in Windows 7.
