The best you can do with Windows 8 is to install a third party start menu such as Classic Shell, or Start 8. Both can be found through a web search. Classic Shell is Free, Start 8 is not. I didn't read, but if you are running Windows 8.1, it can be set to boot directly to your desktop, bypassi

Hi There's really no way to make Windows 8 look like a previous version of Windows. The start menu has been replaced by the start screen. In Windows 8.1, the menus in folders have been replaced by ribbons. As was posted, with JAWS you want to be running the desktop version of Internet Explorer.
