Power8 Portable is a custom version of Power8 that can be run from a USB drive, without needing to be installed onto the host computer, and that adds a fully-functional Start Menu to any Windows 8 computer.
In addition to launching installed programs and accessing native Windows apps, Power8 Portable can also be used to shutdown or restart the PC with a single mouse click.
What's New in This Release:
[new] Windows 8.1 Preview support including, but not limited to:
· hiding of MS start button when P8 works;
· P8's main button has minimum size now equal to 15 px (width of ShowDesktop button on W8);
· incorrect taskbar buttons positioning on exit;
· [new] Option to exchange the Start Menu with Search bar when taskbar is horizontal at the bottom of the screen. Benefit is that you have to less draw mouse from Power8 main button to Start Menu;
· [new] Simplified Chinese localization;
· [changed] Updated translations for all except de, es, fr, zh-TW;
· [fixed] Invalid focus after double Alt+Z;
· [fixed] Display of certain localized CPL items under non-Unicode environment (proper version of LoadString() used);
· [unconfirmed fix] Issue19: no feedback from issue reporter, but I hope the bug is fixed now. NullReferenceException when Admin Tools folder cannot be inferred from Start Menu;
