If you don't like it, uninstalling it removes all the tweaks and returns everything to normal. There are hundreds of little UI tweaks available in Classic Shell. By default these options are enabled, which brings up the classic style dialog box whenever you are trying to copy over a file/folder that already exists. I actually prefer the new style that came with Win7. One last thing I like to do is disable the Alternate File/Folder conflict dialog boxes.
Brings classic start menu back to windows 8#
However on Windows 8 and above it does NOT replace Win+X menu.
The program replaces the start button context menu. So I disable them so that the actual path is dislayed in the address bar. Menu98 brings back the familiar look of classic Windows Start menu, it does NOT replace the start menu, it enhances the context menu of the start button, which is the one popup when you right-click the start button. Anyway, now that I have an up arrow again they are pretty worthless. If you aren't sure what breadcrumbs are, look at the screenshot, breadcrumbs are the new way the address bar works in Win7, I think it was a way to eliminate the up arrow. Some of the features I use for Classic Explorer are the Up Arrow(which is enabled by default) along with disabling breadcrumbs. You can access all of your settings for both Classic Explorer and Classic Start Menu by going to the program folder in the start menu. Personally, I usually have it set to that clicking on the start button opens the Classic Start Menu, while pushing the Windows key on my keyboard opens the Standard Start Menu.Īlso, with the Classic Start menu Shutting down goes back to the classic Windows XP style. Now you can set different keys to open either the Classic Start Menu or the Standard Start Menu. Right when you finish installing Classic Shell, the Classic Start menu will be active by default. Type in ‘explorer.exe’ and hit enter on your keyboard. But I'm just going to go over a few features that I use and like for now.įirst of all, the Classic Start Menu. Now click on ‘File’ in the top left and select ‘Run new task’. Once the ‘Run’ box appears, input ‘Regedit’ and pressenter Go to ‘HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced’ Right-click. But I do suggest if you are missing a UI feature from an older version of Windows that was removed from Win7, try Classic Shell, because I haven't seen a feature yet that wasn't in there. Now there are so many tweaks that Classic Shell offers there is no way I will be able to go over each one.
Brings classic start menu back to install#
Though the total install only takes about 4MB with both features installed. When installing, do note that you can install the Classic Explorer and Classic Start Menu features seperately, so if you don't have use for one or the other don't install it if you want to save a little hard drive space. It is open source and free.*Rockout :rockout: Classic Shell - Get back classic features of the Windows UI(Classic Start Menu)
