Win+X Menu Editor for Windows 10 and Windows 8

One of the new features of Windows 8 is Win+X "Start" menu. It is non-customizable part of the operating system. Win+X Menu Editor is my latest work and it serves to provide you a simple and useful way to edit Win+X menu without system file modification. It keeps your system integrity untouched.

Latest version is 3.0.0.0, it supports Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10

An addition information

Win+X Menu Editor is based on the hashlink source code by Rafael Rivera. Please respect him.

Main icon is daKirby309's "Desktop" icon + mspaint.exe

The Win+X Menu Editor is available in two editions - x86 and x64. Don't use x86 version on Windows x64.
Starting with version 3.0, I eliminated separate versions for x64 and x86 Windows. From now, a single executable file can be used in both x64 and x86 editions.
