Windows 8.1 - Make a Mini Start Menu

Some people want their Start Menu back.  Although I love the new Start Screen and tiles, there are times when I am on the Desktop that I wish I could launch a regular Windows application.  Instead of having a bunch of icons on my Desktop, a menu would be better.

Well, here's a way to fake the Start Menu by using the built-in Taskbar functions. It's not as pretty and complex as the Start Menu, but it's sure better than having a bunch of icons on your Desktop or spread across the Taskbar.
