From windows 95 to Windows XP, we can see the Start Menu at the left bottom side of our desktop but not anymore in windows 8 because it replaces with Metro Style. Installing older games, does not create shortcut on the desktop and sometimes does not show inside the Metro Style of windows 8 such as when installing Microsoft Office 2013. But using a shortcut, you can still acess the windows 8 start menu\all programs by creating a shortcut.
Here's how:
On your desktop, right click on an empty space, select New then select shortcut.Under the "Type the location of the item:", type this path "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs". Press Next then type the name of the shortcut say "start Menu-All Programs" and press Finish. That's All.
To make it visible open the shortcut you've just created, right click on an empty space select View then select Medium Icons.
There is another method.This method will make your desktop look likes you have a start menu.
1.Right-click on the Taskbar and click Toolbars and then New toolbar
2. Paste this path in the Folder text Box C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs then press select Folder button.
