Presenting the Start Menu widget!
In an effort to try create widgets that will reduce the reliance of the original Start Menu, this is the final result. You can browse All Programs through this widget (as shown above, eg. Browsing Administrative Tools), and you can pin programs for easy access later (you can choose to unpin them too, however, you'll have to refresh the list to see it get fully removed).
Not only that, you can access almost all Control Panel options through this widget.
Let me know what you guys think, and whether there are bugs/room for improvement

aah, that would explain it. The way XP and Vista/7 creates the Start Menu stack is different, and i've only implemented the algorithm to read Vista/7's Start Menu. With the lack of input from XP users, I didn't really think it would be necessary.
I will include XP support for this widget in the next update
