I'm an ex-Litestep user, so this makes perfect sense to me, and I agree it would be a great feature. With cracksloth's suggested setup and modifications, you could right click on the desktop, and instead of the normal context menu, you'd get the Start menu. If you have a shortcut to PressStart at the bottom left of your screen (like I do now), it would function exactly as it does now.
Personally, I'd recommend taking this a step further by adding a command-line parameter to PressStart for position. It could be general (presstart.exe -topleft), current mouse position (presstart.exe -mousepos), or coordinates (presstart.exe -150,500). However, I'm sure this would at least double the program's size, and its small size is a major attraction, I'm sure.
I don't do "simple" very well. Can you tell?
